Trouble and unrest in the Muslim world! Perhaps when it has all calmed down it may help us against Al Quaida. Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen the Sudan are all looking for freedom and a democratic government.Good luck to them and a wish for a peaceful resolution.
In Afghanistan our Troops are getting prepared for their Training Mission.
Canada's Afghan training mission takes shapeA battle group of Canadian soldiers originally intended to backstop the withdrawal from Kandahar is expected to form the nucleus of the country's new training mission in Afghanistan.

Please show support for our troops and their families. I have a request from a former flying buddy in Halifax. He operates a book swap and sales business. He has come across a private Diary from the 1930s from PEI. Eleanor Clark is the name in the Diary. She had sisters named Merle and Gerda and Gloria, the book has entries from 1937-46. My friend would like to return this diary to a family member. If you feel that you may be related please send an e mail to me atc25pl@yoo.ca Always happy to assist a fellow Vet.
