Comments: On our way home with Team Canada from our overseas trip visiting the troops. I have so many thoughts in my head and many strong emotions in my heart that are hard to express. I will post pictures later, but right now I want to simply tell everyone who has a son, daughter, sister, brother, wife or husband who is serving that you should be immensely proud. The members of our CAF are inspirational Canadians who are doing important work.
So many of the troops we saw shared with us their stories of great love for their families and their deep Canadian pride. They love you all, they miss you terribly and they can't wait to see you all again soon.
As Canadians the best thing we can give them back is our personal thanks and vocal support. Nothing means more to the men and women who serve than knowing Canadians appreciate, care about and value the work of our Canadian Armed Forces.
Veterans, those who currently serve and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives for us, are the people who have and do protect our peaceful way of life. Never ever take our beautiful Country, our democratic freedoms and our liberties for granted.
