December of 2009 Canada lost six soldiers on the 24th & 30th Lt. Andrew Nuttall, Sgt George Miok, Cpl Zachery McCormack, Sgt. Kirk Taylor and Pte. Garret Chidley This was one of the worse weeks for losses since Canada began it’s mission in 2001. My mother who frequently writes poetry at the time put together these words and wanted to share them on my blog.
We watch them fall
Like autumn leaves
Silent upon the ground
Beneath the flag
Strong, flying in the breeze
Our hearts cry out
With Pain for those left behind
With Praise for those who serve
With Prayers for Hope and Peace
- J.T Murphy
