SUPPORT OUR CANADIAN TROOPS
Canadians owe their freedom to soldiers like
those fighting in Afghanistan,
Prime Minister Stephen Harper
told a rally on Parliament Hill in support of
Canada's troops."
All of our freedoms were created by the men
and women who in our history were prepared
to lay down their lives for those
freedoms," he said to cheers from the crowd
of about 10,000 sporting flashes of red clothing as a sign
of solidarity with the soldiers.And Harper again pledged to
rebuild Canada's military.
"Let me tell you," he said, "this government is committed
to rebuilding the Armed Forces of Canada and we are
overwhelmed with the support we are getting to do that."
The rally grew out of the Wear Red Fridays campaign
started last spring by family members of soldiers from
CFB Petawawa who are serving overseas.
The idea is to encourage people to wear red on Fridays
as a show of support for Canadian forces.
THANK YOU STEPHEN HARPER!!!
