This illustrates the courageous efforts of the Canadian Military. With not only husband and wife serving in Afghaistan but Brother and sisters as well. The ultimate price has been paid by two young men, But now a wife and fiancee who is pregnant must now grieve and carry on with life. God Bless them.

Crampton laid flowers on his coffin before returning to stand with Defence Minister Peter MacKay and Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Rick Hillier on the windswept runway.
With all the sadness of late I was proud to receive a happier story from My old comrade Benny in Ottawa. Unfortunately for the life of me I cannot figure out how to down load this video. BUT PLEASE CUT and paste if it does not click for you. It is well worth the watch and to wonder if 60 Years on the Afghans will remember fallen Canadians as well as the Dutch and Belgian people do to this day.
