    This was an incredible week. Lasting connections and friendships were formed. Soldier On and Sgt Andrew McLean the VISASorganization along with CADS out did themselves. The disappointing thing was all of the major news media was invited to document this for Canadias and two local TV stations along with the Globe and Mail showed up to see the incredible strides these men have taken. Major Mark Campbell was blown up in June/July 08 losing both legs above knee and now is now out sit skiing. Sgt Lorne Ford sustaining injury in the 2002 friendly fire incident out enjoying life to the fullest. CBC and CTV did not find it compelling enough. Sad, because I am inspired by these men.
