Default Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan @ 100

Although far less than US troop losses in Iraq it's certainly not a happy milestone to reach..
Prayers and condolences to family and friends of these brave lads!.

I have to be politically correct and polite to all the Republican members..........so I cant write what I'm thinking.......

As I visited my fathers grave site at Tahoma Nat'l Cemetary in Maple Valley,WA (rural Seattle) on Veteran's day, I drove by all the fresh dirt and new sod covering the all too many graves of those Americans killed in Iraq/Afghanastan.......and shed my tears and shake my head.......WHY, WHY, WHY

Our son is also over there with those guys. All from Base Petawawa. It was a tense day for us until we found out who was killed. The parents of one of the lads live fairly close to us. I hope they soon get serious about finishing this war or just drop the BIG bomb and leave.

Keith,

I hope your son stays safe. I was there two years ago and will be heading back in a few months. The threats were relatively low then. The winter months are usually quieter due to the winter climate. The warm months are a different story though.

It was always a treat to deal with the Canadians and Brits. They seemed to cut through the bs and were very effective at their missions.

My thoughts and prayers are with all soldiers defending our freedoms.

Phil Woj.

Very. very sorry to hear that! I know what the soldiers and families are going through. Chuck, you are a hero to me just like ALL the others who have and are serving! We must continue to stand behind our troops and their families. When one grieves we all grieve. Sam
