Canada in Afghanistan

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

Clark, first of all, welcome to MLU.

This is not a political site, and we discourage debates of that sort... BUT ... to a man (and woman), we stand together in support of our troops overseas, regardless of our individual political persuasions. This will never change, and I want you and your comrades to know this, absolutely.

As long as we have men and women under arms and under fire, I shall wear my poppy with pride, and I do. I only wish my age and health would permit me to support you as I should, in the field. I take pride in my commission, but it pales in the face of what you and your comrades have endured and accomplished. I salute you all.
