In Newmarket\u2014Aurora, we are preparing to celebrate a very special milestone as our friend and local Second World War veteran Mr. Jeffrey Reynolds turns 100 years old on June 29.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9416229\" data-originallang=\"en\">At just 18 years old, he enlisted in the North Staffordshire Regiment, joining a generation that answered the call when freedom itself was under threat. Like so many who served, Jeff rarely speaks about his sacrifices. Instead, he is full of stories of growing up as a young boy, stories that remind us how much the world has changed over the last century and stories that connect us to a generation whose sacrifices shaped the country we know today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9416230\" data-originallang=\"en\">Turning 100 years old is an extraordinary achievement, but it also carries even greater meaning when that life was dedicated to serving others before it had fully begun. I ask all members of the House to join me in wishing Jeffrey Reynolds a very happy 100th birthday.</p>",

Jeffrey Reynolds, f\u00eatera ses 100 ans le 29 juin.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9416229\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 seulement 18 ans, il s'est enr\u00f4l\u00e9 dans le North Staffordshire Regiment, se joignant ainsi \u00e0 une g\u00e9n\u00e9ration qui a r\u00e9pondu \u00e0 l'appel alors que la libert\u00e9 m\u00eame \u00e9tait menac\u00e9e. Comme tant d'autres qui ont servi, Jeff parle rarement de ses sacrifices. En revanche, il est intarissable sur son enfance; ses r\u00e9cits nous rappellent \u00e0 quel point le monde a chang\u00e9 au cours du si\u00e8cle dernier et qui nous relient \u00e0 une g\u00e9n\u00e9ration dont les sacrifices ont fa\u00e7onn\u00e9 le pays que nous connaissons aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9416230\" data-originallang=\"en\">F\u00eater ses 100 ans est un exploit extraordinaire, mais cela rev\u00eat une signification encore plus grande lorsque cette vie a \u00e9t\u00e9 consacr\u00e9e au service des autres avant m\u00eame d\u2019avoir v\u00e9ritablement commenc\u00e9. J\u2019invite tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e0 se joindre \u00e0 moi pour souhaiter \u00e0 Jeffrey Reynolds un tr\u00e8s joyeux 100<sup>e</sup> anniversaire.</p>"
