[QUOTE The soldier killed Friday was my nephew Micheal Bruce Freeman of Peterborough , Ont.
God bless Mike, all who have gone before him, and all who will follow.[/QUOTE]
Many a lofty line has been written in an attempt to assuage the grief of those loved ones left behind, but we all know that only time can heal that wound created by the loss. And tho' the wound heals the indelible scar left is a constant reminder of loved ones lost. The gods of war are capricious indeed! I'm no great crafter of the English language so allow me to quote Sir Arthur Conan Doyle when I say,
Let us pray to God that we may ever hold their virtues.
You and your family have my deepest condolences.
