    flyfishfairwx,
    I've seen the video of this before and the lump in my throat remains. Yes, you deserve to be PROUD of these HEROES. AND I assure you , we as Americans are NO LESS proud of them.

    Absolutely beautiful and breath-taking. We thank you for sharing it with us - I'm glad to see that kind of patriotism is still alive and well somewhere - we had it here in the US for a while after 9/11, but it seems to have gotten lost in the big "ME" generation or culture. So sad.

    As an American Vet, I am very proud of our neighbors to the north for their display of love & support for their Heroes.
    I salute not only your Heroes, but the Canadian Patriots who support them.
    God Bless,

    As a former paratrooper who's son just finished his second tour in Iraq, salute to the brave willing to sacrifice all. While we may not agree on cause or purpose we can all agree that, in reality, it comes down to the person in the next fox hole.

    Several Canadians fought with us in Nam. They were good guys, good soldiers, and brave men.

    God bless those American and Canadian men and women that gave their lives and put their lives on the line so we can be free. It such a huge, huge sacrifice and I hope we all pray for our neighbors in Canada and the United States.
    Thank You

    A friend forwarded this to me this week, you seem like a likely audience to share it with today.

    It is the VETERAN,
    not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion.

    It is theVETERAN,
    not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

    It is theVETERAN,
    not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

    It is theVETERAN,
    not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble.

    It is the VETERAN,
    not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.

    It is the VETERAN,
    not the politician, Who has given us the right to vote.

    It is the VETERAN
    Who salutes the Flag,
    It is theVETERAN
    who serves under the Flag, who makes it possible for the campus radical to burn the flag.

    ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD,AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.
    Want to hear God laugh? Tell him Your plans!!!
