In Service to our Country.

With today's announcement of the deaths of four Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan near Gumbad, I am reminded of a lady named Mary, an OIF widow, whose blog site I stumbled across a couple of weeks ago. There I read, with great sadness, her struggle to come to terms with the November 2005 death of her husband while on duty in the Middle East.

My heart goes out to all those who have lost loved ones in combat.

May the life these Canadians gave in service to our Country be forever remembered, celebrated and cherish.
