Well Wiarton Willy and his counterparts have said we will have a further 6 weeks of winter.To many people, this is bad news but to our troops it is not a worry.
Now this is humorous!! ! I thought it funny when they trucked Sand into PEI for the Canada games Beach Volleyball. Now they are trucking Snow to Vancouver by the truck load from as far as 3 hours drive away. What a mixed up world.
As the springtime surge in Afghanistan is expected our troops still carry out their duties.
Land, Sea, Air the missions go on professionally. Bravo Zulu Canadian Military.
In Haiti the military is still working hard as well Medics, Drivers, Infanteers Engineers Pilots sailors to mention but a few.
Then the Olympics our Canadian military is providing Full Medical Services, Evacuations,Security and all the other duties that are requested of them.
