I was reading a post yesterday (can't remember where it was) and somebody posted the lyrics to "The Green Fields of France." I went to Itunes and bought a copy of this song. I just listened to it with my 13 year old son, and we were both crying. What a beautiful song. As an American, I just want to say thank you to each of you who serve for freedom.
Down here, we are so insulated from the rest of the world. I think most Americans don't even know the Canadian Forces are in the main force battle in Afghanistan. But my family and I never forget.
A couple of weeks ago, I read a book called "102 Minutes." It's the story of the fight for survival in the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001. It really brought things into sharp focus and I would encourage anyone who wonders why we're in Afghanistan to read this book.
Anyway, I have to run here. My kid is sentimental like me, but he's hungry. Once again, I just want to say I respect and honor your service.
