Canada in Afghanistan

[Garry Shipton (RIP)]

Just watched her dad's eulogy on Newsworld for the funeral of Capt. Nicola Goddard,Mother "A"Battery of the RCHA.This has to be the most moving speech that I've heard in a long time.I don't know about you members that viewed the funeral,but I was driven to tears.What really moved me was when the choir sang "Lord of the Dance",the same tune they played when we buried my good friend,Flight Lieutenant Stan Mathews,navigator,RCAF,433 Squadron.Halifax bombers.At the end of Stan's eulogy,I ordered the Airforce Piper in a loud command which all present in the church could hear to play "The Airforce Marchpast"Boy,did we play right on,with applause as we marched down the central aisle of the church.I couldn't see because of the tears.Somehow I made it down the stepasfrom the altar.But we celebratwd a lost life.

God bless Nicola Goddard
