To The Four

Another morning's light and onward this determined band
as they bravely hold their share of a dusty foreign land.

Always, watching, never loosing sight
of making that difference no matter what the fight.

On some thankless road these young soldiers did press on
suddenly stricken by an evil blackened wrong.

Their lives valor reddened the sand
done in by some cowards called the Telaban

They gave to us who watch and listen from far away
that thankful gift of another one of freedom's day.

The Taliban are getting their butts kicked in direct fire-fights by both coalition and the Afghan National Army with two results. One is that many have been pushed back into Pakistan and, with little publicity, there is significant fighting going on right now with the Pak Army in Waziristan. The second result is that the Taliban have adopted IEDs as their chosen method of attacking the coalition military.

More Canadians are coming in as well as a few thousand more Brits and Dutch so the degree of difficulty for the Taliban will continue to increase.

I feel real bad about this fan. May God take these brave men home and erase all their wounds and suffering.My thoughts and prayers are for these men and their families. Freedom isn't free and these men paid the price for it and for the Afghanis. They are heros.

I wish PM Harper would send over another Highland Regiment. I was in Montreal last thursday, and security and activity around Black Watch Regimental headquarters on Bleury was busy and tight. Lots of activity. I still think we need more soldiers on the ground for the summer.

Thanks for the ping. Words desert me just now.
