Tomorrow is the National Day of Honour in Canada, to commemorate the sacrifices made during our military mission in Afghanistan.

There will be a national moment of silence at 2:30 pm (Atlantic Standard Time).
Very cool. When I was over there I was on a FOB originally established by Canadian troops.
If I owned a Tim Horton's franchise, on US soil, I'd give a free coffee & donut to every serving member of the US military tomorrow, who is in uniform or shows a valid military ID.

That would make it 1:30 EST in my corner of 'Merica. I'll be at work but I will try to honor it as well if at all possible.
I'm glad that whole experience is winding down. Canadians did some amazing work!
that scrappy little brother.
and just to stir the pot further...
Canadian infantry would kick Ozzie infantry in the nuts. :P

That's fighting talk! :buck2: :o I can think of a few Koala's who might have a different view, and would gently (or maybe not so gently ;)) lean on your tender bits for the suggestion. Being English, I'm not in that fight, they're both equally good as far as I'm concerned. Personally, I rate the Canadians, the Aussies, and the Kiwis, all as good soldiers. So why have you a downer on the Aussies Star? Is it about some woman? We want the truth now.... ;D
More likely one particular Aussie Troll.
I'm definitely with Boggit on this one.
