Canadians in Afghanistan
April 25.In reading and listening to media reports, one would think Canada is the only country, other than the United States, that has placed troops in harm's way. Nothing could be further from the truth. Twelve NATO countries currently have a total of 15,000 troops deployed, of which Canada has supplied 2,300. Regrettably, 15 Canadians have lost their lives. But so, too, have many brave soldiers from other countries — all of which deserve mention, honour and our gratitude: Germany 18, Spain, 17, U.K. 7, France 4, Italy 3, Romania 3, Denmark 3, Sweden 2, Australia 1, Norway 1, Portugal 1. We stand together.

Good on you, Don.
