From one grieving family to many others: each of you are in our thoughts and prayers. May you be comforted by the memories you have of your loved ones.
To the injured: speedy recovery. You did all that you could. It's time to heal.
RIP soldiers. Your job is now done. It's time to rest. 

If any of the families would like to PM me, I'd be happy to offer whatever support I can. My husband was killed in Afghanistan in Oct 2006. I know your pain all too well.

 

[RHFC_piper]

More poppies to lay.  More heros to remember.

Rest in peace, brothers. Your job is done.

.."and to St Peter he will tell, another Soldier reporting Sir, I've served my time in hell"...

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
For those that are injured, heal well. You have done us proud.

RIP Troops

Pro Patria

 

[JBP]

Every time I read or hear about anyone of us being hurt or killed over there, it hurts that much more... I can only imagine the pain that the loved one's of these soldiers must be going through... RIP and speedy recovery to those who need it...

To the families:
Every man dies, but not every man truly lives

Your loved one's did, they lived valiantly and did more than thier share for the world. I know words don't help much, but at least remember that they are stronger and more courageous than many could have hoped to be in thier lives...

Take it easy,
Joe

Just coming here to express my gratitude for the soldiers who sacrifice so much to keep this country safe. As a Canadian, I'm proud that there are men and women like them in our country and only hope to one day be able to serve alongside them.

RIP.
