Canadian forces Troops
On August 8th 2009 in a town just East or Peterborough called Norwood Ontario there is going to be a gigantic event staged in honor of our Canadian Forces Troops ( The wounded, The never forgotten, The brave men and women) awaiting deployment to foreign lands. In this day and age it is imperative that we have soldiers that are ready to fight against oppression here at home and abroad. This is not their fight, they certainly did not wake up one morning from the safety of their homes and families and ask to be in a war but, as soldiers ready to stand up and correct the imbalances of a third world country they are there and, in a situation to make a difference. They are Brave, They are Honest They are our neighbors .They are Sons. They are Daughters. They are Nieces. and ,They are Nephews and I know sure as I sit here composing this letter that I am not alone when I say that I as a Free man Thanks to all the brave the Veterans (including My father and five of his Brothers some of who never returned) from past wars am one Dam proud Canadian that is glad to call them My band of Brothers and Sisters. I have never been know as a religious person but I do thank God for the safe and speedy return of all involved in this war.

Hi Dave! I am sure that I am speaking for many. To offer your talents to help out with Band of Brothers and our injured troops,shows how truly a proud Canadian you are. As the mother of a soldier and a friend to many of his comrades there are no words that I can say as to how grateful I am.
