Dear Gordon:

As a retired Canadian Army General, the Hon. Gordon O'Connor, PC, MP brings a military mindset to his decision processes & that can be great when we as a Dominion are facing terrorist threats & the like. Speaking about Canadian soldiers fighting terrorist threats in Afghanistan, Gen. O'Connor talks about the fact that they are putting their lives on the lives to make the lives of young Canadians, in fact all Canadians better.

"They are helping to improve the lives of people struggling to achieve the rights & privileges that many of us Canadians take for granted."

Number CCXVII (217),

Rory
