I am not sure where to post this but I would like to mention the concert yesterday.
First of all it was an amazing concert. Half way through the show, the stage was blacked out.Then on the speakers, he thanked the Canadian Soldiers serving overseas for their sacrifices. The lights came on,smoke was on the stage and a lone fiddler came out, They played a song dedicated to the families of the fallen soldiers. After the song- which was amazing. George Canyon asked military members in the crowd to stand up. At this point he thanked each and everyone of them. This was not the end of it. When George came out to do his encore at the end of the night. He held up a shirt which he received from some of the troops overseas. He sat on a stool and went into a story about Kabul and speaking with someone who lost everything. He said that in that one conversation everything we as the Canadian military made sense. He also said that we as Canadians take things for granted. I can't quote word from word but it was unbelievable. Someone yell from the crowd that they couldn't do it without the spouses, in which George thanked all the families and the children who sacrifice in the name of Freedom.
It was a great feeling lastnight and it touched my heart. I just thought I would share it.
Take care
