82 years ago today, June 6, 1944, James M. Doohan of Vancouver, led D Company of Royal Winnipeg Rifles ashore at Juno beach. He would be shot 6 times, survive and go on to become Scotty on Star Trek.
@MarkHoltom shot 6 times by his own people after sneaking off for a smoke and surprising them when he came back

@Kierkegaanks @MarkHoltom "The bullet to his chest was stopped by a silver cigarette case given to him by his brother."

Well, you've *got* to go into showbiz after a cliché like that!

@boggin @Kierkegaanks @MarkHoltom

They were Canadian sentry bullets. Just as effective as German bullets. :)
