Stories of violent protests and how Toronto police handled them during the G20 summit are dominating the local news waves this morning. I hope that noise does not prevent us from taking notice that two more of Canada’s sons and daughters died this past weekend at the side of a road in Afghanistan.

Though I can’t begin to understand the sacrifice their families have made, I am thankful that Master Cpl. Kristal Giesebrecht and Pte. Andrew Miller wore our flag while they worked on our behalf. Farewell.
