They Also Serve
They might have stiffed us on Iraq but let's not forget that our neighbor to the North has troops fighting and dying in Afghanistan:
Nearly 3,000 mourners packed the local arena today to honour the two Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Canadian units, along with British and German forces, assisted Kabul police in arresting the man they think could be responsible early today.
Local residents and military personnel from nearby CFB Petawawa gathered to remember Sgt. Robert Short and Cpl. Robbie Beerenfenger, who were both stationed in Petawawa.
The men were killed when their jeep was destroyed by an anti-tank mine near Kabul last Thursday. Three other soldiers were injured.
