Red Friday and Heroes

It was wonderful to see the big crowd for Red Friday at Petawawa. If you haven't seen PM Harper's full speech, it's here, go to the right side and click on Harper speaks at CFB Petawawa.

It is really too bad that the heroes from Afghanistan, have been overshadowed by opposition MP's gunning from votes. It's shameful and wrong that the very people putting their lives on the line are the one's that politicians are using to further their own parties fortunes.

Afghanistan should not be a political issue, real people are getting killed, but the opposition doesn't seem to realize that soldiers are real people. They think our troops are pawns that can be used, especially in Quebec, to gain votes. I sure didn't see any opposition members at the red rally. Were the troops smart enough not to invite them?

I am proud that the Conservatives are not just mouthing the words "we support our troops", they are showing true support in their words and actions.

So, as PM Harper said, God Bless our troops, God Bless their families, and God Bless Canada.

Well, thank you very much! I see you are from India, that's what I love about blogs, people from around the world can connect.

My son learnt a lot about the Indian culture because his first nanny was Indian, he got to eat wonderful food that he would never get at home, he sang some Indian songs, and most of all he learnt at a very early age that all people have lots to offer.

Maybe blogs will unite the world.
