On today's show, meeting Michael... how a commemorative pin from the U-K is making its way across the Atlantic to a fallen soldier's family in Newfoundland. The CBC's Jen White will have that story. We speak to a member of the Air Force about her military career and being named one of NORAD's top officers of the year....and she's also a Labradorian! Housing in Labrador has been an issue for a long time.
The lack of affordable housing, or housing all together, is prompting the federal government to make more money available to deal with the problem. We speak with Labrador MP Yvonne Jones. We also hear what Remembrance Day means to a helicopter maintainer from 444 Combat Support Squadron in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. One of our few remaining World War Two vets in this province has passed away - at age 100. We hear Elmo Baird's reflections on his time overseas.
