While I see the point you are trying to make, I said "And had the roles been reversed I would be saying the same about Cpl Megeney." While they could very easily be reversed, they are not.  And I stand by my statement, but you are right in respects that I should of said that I do hope BOTH...

Not sure if that comment was directed at me, the 48th regulator.... But, I am not vilifying Cpl Wilcox, just to clarify.  I have no doubt it was an unintentional and he is very remorseful.  But it still doesn't change the outcome.  AND because they are well-trained Canadian soldiers that handle...

Drapeau said the sentence was "severe" in some respects, as Wilcox did not intentionally shoot his friend and he could likely continue to serve his country. "He is a young man, he is a reservist...he was remorseful and I think he could continue to serve his country and learn from it," said...

Having a very lazy Sunday.  Enjoying the sunshine through the window.  Fall is in the air..... :'( First attempt at making beef jerky, not sure how it will turn out.  But I have a few soldiers heading over on the next tour that will appreciate it no matter what it takes like... ;D  That's one...

50 YEARS=  a whole crap load of "Do you want fries with that?"  :P

DND doesn't usually confirm timings until the day before arrival. Having said that it usually takes 2 days from the time they leave KAF.  Our last soldier, Pte. Patrick Lormand will probably arrive on Wed Sept, 16, 2009 at 2pm. Approximate timings for the procession: The repatriation ceremony...

Sooooo, MR according to your definition of a good German night, we weren't quite up to par.  >:D  The extent of our rowdiness, was we ran out of schnitzel, broke a lawn chair and spilled some port.  But,  I guess, there's always next time........ ;D (Thanks, and we are!)

Another Mom The system is not impersonable and inflexible.  The soldier that is going overseas decides who he wants to receive the 3 Memorial Crosses.  It's that simple.  Maybe we should think about what the soldier wants.  Just to play devil's advocate.  What if a soldiers mother was just a...

And the young Canadian soldier would be different from any other young person with a fist full of cash how????!!!???  ::) They have just made it through a FREAKIN' war, if he wants to spend all his money on bubble gum, booze or Timbits....who cares?  Not me. Gimmee a break, must of been a...

Thank goodness to all the fireman and first responders that kept it from being worse than it was. Just thinking of Bob Leek today and the security worker and their families that lost their lives in the explosion. It is hard to believe that it was a year ago tonight.  And being so close, it...
