Sad to hear this. A friend was by my house last night and saw the Canadian flag flying out front. He asked why I was flying another countries flag. My answer was that they are fighting and dying beside our troops and this is my way of showing respect.

God Bless Ya Cool!!

I got the call yesterday at around supper time, from our Prez, that this two hero's had succumb to their injuries....my first reaction is always anger, then helplessness, then silence and sorrow....may they RIP in peace, and prayers to the ones they left behind.

It is always sad, and especially for the ones left behind. I say a prayer every night for James (Cartdog71). He has a young son and I want to see him come home and be able to raise his son..

Thanks for all those nice gesture and words it is really nice, I new those two guys. Master Warrant Officer Mercier was serving with me in Bosnia and I used to know the man. He was always smilling and joking around, his man were always coming first before anything, I was love by everyone.....

I did not know Master Caporal Duchesne that much but I worked with him before...
