The Veteran On Our Ten Dollar Bill

THE VETERAN ON OUR TEN DOLLAR BILL


If you have a Canadian $10 bill, look at the back right side of the bill.

     At the age of 80 he wrote a book about his experiences and on his retirement he and his wife moved to Ottawa. One day out of the blue he received a call from a government official asking him to go downtown for a photo op. He wasn't told what the photo was for or why they chose him.

     "He had no idea he would be on the bill," his daughter said.

And now you know the rest of the story of the old veteran on the $10 bill.
