Letter to the Editor:
In response to your Ken's Korner 'Violated and Unsafe'. I can feel for you, as I know how you feel.

The Canadian troops in Afghanistan remain out of sight, but they should not remain out of mind. Almost three weeks ago, the first group of soldiers from the Quebec region left for an eight month rotation to provide training and professional development to the National Security Forces of Afghanistan.
It is Canada’s commitment to NATO and to Afghanistan. Today Canada continues to provide the second largest contingent of men and women in that country.

I hope you will join me this November 11th again to remember the sacrifices of the men and women of our armed forces, past and present, who have served in defence of our country. If you see a Veteran or active personnel member please take a moment to thank them for their service and sacrifice.

Why is it when you take out the Christmas lights from the year before they no longer work?
