Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan @ 100

[WILMASBOYL78]

The Canadians have always done their part to fight for freedom along side the brave soldiers of the United States and other nations. It is too bad that the media doesn't give more time to recognize the sacrifices so many people are making in the cause of freedom. If some rock star or Hollywood type cheats on his wife, that's front page news...a soldiers death may only get a footnote on some inside page.

Yesterday was the 66th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy...probably the biggest single military event of all time...yet it was hardly mentioned in print or the web. How soon we forget those who have served and paid the price for the freedom we all enjoy.

All the best to all those who bravely stand guard so we don't have to.....wilma

I can't thank these families enough, who selflessly gave their loved ones choice and encouragement to do what they feel must be done. I believe you are either born with it or you're not. If it's your calling you go.

God bless, good luck, and Thank You!

Agreed Pete but I dunno if there's enough of us to gain any traction on getting one.
