DT10Sam Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 (edited) Our young lad Andrew has been watching the news lately and for a 10 year old he certainly understands that not all families will be celebrating Christmas this year and felt that we should mention on the forum just how lucky we are to have a family gathering during the Christmas holiday. He is saddened to learn about the suicide bombers in Iraq that take countless lives and loved ones away from families and especially this time of year. We did explain to him that the soldiers do want to perform their duties on behalf of their country and their beliefs etc., and we can only hope that our soldiers will return home safe with their families. Our family would like to send Christmas wishes to all of the men and women that will not be home for Christmas as a result of being posted overseas to keep our country safe. Our family will pray for their safe return home and that the guns will be silenced for Christmas Day. Some families will not be celebrating Christmas due to the loss of loved ones that fought for our country and we hope that those families will remember the great times and memories created with their loved ones before they left to serve in our forces. Peace be with you and your families. Merry Christmas to all of our troops and their families. Best regards, Sam, Laurie, Andrew and Hunter.

Spiel Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 ....For a young man of only ten your son has a greater appreciation and understanding of what is important in life than those that are troops are fighting against. God bless you all and all those who are standing up for those who will someday (hopefully) enjoy the freedoms we are so fortunate to have here at home.

Carp Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Whether we agree with their missions or not, we should always support our troops. God bless them and all they do for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taper Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Because of the vehicles we manufacture for the military, we had the pleasure of having a very high ranking officer from the Canadian military arrive to address the entire workforce. He explained how much the people in the hostile areas appreciated our effort to help keep them safe as well as all notes of good will. I can't tell you how much we appreciate this at work. Heres hoping all our soldiers come back safe from their tours, and that someday we won't need to send any one else into these enviroments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
