BITEME Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Once again the sad passage of our fallen heros!!!!! REST IN PEACE LEST WE FORGET
lew Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Thanks Peter, unfortunately, that's becoming an all too common sight lately. Very sad indeed.
irishfield Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 You don't have to ask how high my flag is flying, down at the gate, Peter.
fishindevil Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 They are all heros,and will not be forgotten,well said.and our prayers go out to their familys and friends.they put their lives on the line everyday so that the people can be free of tyrany...they are true canadian heros
fishergirl72 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 Thank you very much BITEME!I want to personally thank you for all of your support and well wishes that you have shown me when my brother-in-law was recently in Afganhistan. For me the picture is hard for me to see but unfortunately, that is one of the downfalls of their job, but they left us by protecting our country and proud doing it. I will NEVER forget what OUR miltitary (past and present) have done for us and our country! "LEST WE FORGET" My heartfelt condolences go out to their family, friends and comrades.
finfan Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 For all who defend our right to live free and have died doing so. I would like to say thank you. There's no words to describe the pain they must all suffer everyday and how much I'm forever indebted to all of our soldiers for keeping us safe. God bless
magnum Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) I was never a militant man.......but recently I had the honor of becoming friends with a Canadian Military man......and through talking with him I have found a new understanding and respect of what our heroes do for us...........thank you to all that take a role.....you truly are the foundation of this GREAT Country!!
