We Will Remember Them

They 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:

Deaths in Afghanistan

On the day that their comrade in arms, Trooper Darryl Caswell, was being laid to rest in Bowmanville, Ontario three more young Canadians have met their deaths in Afghanistan. Three more caskets will make their solemn way onto a transport plane for the journey to Trenton, Ontario, just east of me. Three more families will wait heartbroken on the tarmac in Trenton as their fallen family member is returned home.
They will be accompanying the remains as they are escorted into Toronto along the Trans Canada 401 highway. I can’t even begin to imagine what it will be like for them to know that they wont be able to enjoy this reunion with the young man who went off to serve his country in a faraway land. They wont be able to laugh, hug, cry and catch up on lost time. They will travel with the ungodly raw ache of the loss of someone so near and dear — and so young. (more…)
