This seems appropriate to mark, as well. Canadian forces lost two more soldiers last week.
Prime Minister Harper issued a statement of condolence Saturday. "These are all exceptional Canadians who deserve the gratitude and respect of this nation," he said. "The actions of these brave soldiers have brought hope to the Afghan people."
Two Canadian soldiers and their Afghan interpreter were killed when their vehicle hit a mine early Saturday morning, about 40 klicks west of Kandahar.
The Canadian dead are Corporal. Nicolas Raymond Beauchamp, 28, of the 5th Field Ambulance in Valcartier (right, below), and Private. Michel Levesque, 25, of the 3rd battalion of the Royal 22nd Regiment, also in Valcartier (left, below).

Make a hole there, Canadians coming through to Fiddler's Green!
Therefore, now is the time at Castle Argghhh! when we dance: In Memoriam.
