I’m deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Master Warrant Officer (Retd) George Chow, who bravely served Canada during the Second World War. 
He was a part of the first Canadian gun crew to shoot down a German plane. He fought on the beaches of Normandy. He did not shy away from being at the ready to serve. Upon returning to Canada, he continued to serve as a Gunnery Instructor. He was honourably discharged in 1963.
His service & legacy has been recognized through numerous war medals, Canadian Forces Decoration & The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. These awards and accolades cannot measure the lasting impact George’s service will have on generations of young Canadians.
We have lost a trailblazer who broke barriers & showed young children what service, duty & love for one’s country is. You may be gone, my friend, but you will never be forgotten. #LestWeForget
