We Will Remember Him

In honour of our fallen CanadiansThey shall grow not old, as we who are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them

In memory of our fallen Canadian:

I just spent a couple of hours going back through my archives and discovering that March 2007 and later postings have been mostly truncated where I had inserted the break on the front page of the blog.
