A Grim Milestone

12/5/2008

Three Canadian soldiers were killed as a result of an improvised explosive device attack on their armoured vehicle during a joint patrol with Afghan National Army soldiers in the Arghandab District. The incident occurred approximately 15 kilometers west of Kandahar City at about 9:00 a.m., Kandahar time on 5 December 2008.

The Canadian soldiers were participating in a vehicle patrol with their Afghan colleagues when their vehicle was struck by an improvised explosive device. The three soldiers were killed instantly by the explosion.

This brings the total of Canadians killed in Afghanistan to 100.

Our prayers are with the families and friends of these 3 men.

The Faceless Heros of Rememberance Day

11/11/2008

I must admit that while I was in school I thought that Remembrance Day was boring. I was always annoyed by having to stand in silence for a minute.

As I have grown up and matured, I have realized the importance of this day in our worlds history. A moment of silence is really not enough to remember these soldiers by.

November 11, 1918 was marked in history as the end of World War I.  During that war more than 64,000 Canadian men and women were killed in battle. These men and women died so that you and I could have the freedom we enjoy today.  Without the sacrifices of these now faceless heroes, who knows what our world would look like.

More over in 1939 Canada again took its place in World War 2. During WW2 there more that 45,000 Canadian military deaths. Again the men and women of the Canadian Armed forces put their lives on the line so that we could enjoy the freedom that Nazi Germany and their allies were trying to take away.

There have been many more wars since the two so called “great wars,” including the current War on Terror. All of these wars have taken a significant told on Canadian families. And even today, as our men and women fight for the freedom from the oppression of the Taliban, there are Canadian families that receive the bad news that a family member has passed away.  These men and women are heroes in the truest sense of the word.

I don’t know any of these men and women personally, but I do know that they did not die in vain. Far to often we forget about the men and women that came home with permanent injuries, they are our heroes as well.

On this November day in 2008 – we say:

To All Who Fought and Died: WE, IN CANADA, SALUTE YOU!!!

To All Who Fought and Lived: WE, IN CANADA, THANK YOU!!!
