And so another year comes to a close. I wish for all of you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2010! As always, while sitting here and typing this, I give thanks for the freedoms we all enjoy in this wonderful country called Canada. Remember, especially during this holiday season, the many men and women of our armed services who are on duty. Some of them stand watch in lonely outposts, far from friends and family. Others are in harms way, protecting the freedoms of those too weak to do so themselves. More than a few are part of NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defence Command, and as they have for the past 50 Years, they stand on guard, like the song says, for us.
If you happen upon one of them, say thank you; if they are ahead of you at the coffee shop, give a shout to their server that ‘I’ve got that one.’ The cost of a cup of coffee is a pittance compared to the price they pay every day so that we may enjoy our holiday season in peace.
Let us all hope and pray for a more peaceful 2010.
