well everyone on friday we lost our 121st CDN soldier in afghanistan. why do we make a big deal of it up here everytime we lose someone is because we can and its because we care. when a soldier comes to CFB Trenton they travel along the stretch of the 401 which has been renamed the Highway of Heroes to the coronors building in Toronto. and along that stretch ordinary people line the bridges and roadway to pay their respect to the dead. and it is illegal to pass the convoy due to a heavy police escort along the whole route. right now there is a new memorial being painted by the past president of the kinsmen club of preston. the paintings are of every single soldier that has been killed in afghanistan and he will be doing the painting until they all come home in 2011. then after that a permanent memorial will be built to house the painting. that will be the biggest tribute that anyone has done ever. so to all the troops over in afghanistan you are in our hearts every day and you are making us proud for what you are doing over there keep up the great work guys. and to all the CDN soldiers already lost in action RIP and your sacrifice will not be forgotten
