NOT 109,000!


It's my understanding that since WWI over 108,000 Canadian soldiers have lost their lives in battle. While lives are lost every day, most are not members of a voluntary force in defence of our freedoms and beliefs. Donna and I did not serve in a theatre of war during our military careers but we, like many others, are deeply touched every time a soldier's repatriation ceremony takes place at CFB Trenton ... 3 minutes from our front door. Let's hope and pray we don't lose another son or daughter in a foreign land in defence of our freedom. Lest we forget ... today or any other.
