"It's not what you've lost, it's what you have left." That statement became the life motto for Dan MacDonald, who battled back from grievous wounds recieved in the Second World War to forge a remarkable career as a politician of national stature. Behind the extraordinary political career, there is also the story of a successful farmer and devoted family man. His story remains an inspiration to many Prince Edward Islanders and Canadians and is one that is meant to be shared.
