Requiem for a soldier
You never lived to see
What you gave to me
One shining dream of hope and love
Life and liberty
With a host of brave unknown soldiers
For your company, you will live forever
Here in our memory
In fields of sacrifice
Heroes paid the price
Young men who died for old men's wars
Gone to paradise
We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you'll see we can live together
When all the world is free
I wish you'd lived to see
All you gave to me
Your shining dream of hope and love
Life and liberty
We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you'll see - we can live together
When all the world is free
What you gave to me
One shining dream of hope and love
Life and liberty
With a host of brave unknown soldiers
For your company, you will live forever
Here in our memory
In fields of sacrifice
Heroes paid the price
Young men who died for old men's wars
Gone to paradise
We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you'll see we can live together
When all the world is free
I wish you'd lived to see
All you gave to me
Your shining dream of hope and love
Life and liberty
We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you'll see - we can live together
When all the world is free

Happy Birthday Shawna
Today we celebrate my wife's 29th birthday.
What can I say about the woman I love more than anything in this world? She is perfect for me. Takes care of me. Knows me better than I know myself.
If not for her this family would not be able to function the way it does.
I love you so very much, Shawna, and hope you have a wonderful year.

Dear Penthouse Forum...
Dear Penthouse forum.
You're never going to guess what happened to me today. It all started when I came home from work after a very long and frustrating day and what did I find my wife doing in the kitchen? Well, she was grilling the biggest and juiciest steak you've ever seen. And, to boot, she had in her hands a great big frosty glass of Keith's all for me.
"This isn't all I have planned for our evening," she said to me as I sat down to eat. She moved behind me and started massaging my neck as I ate my dinner.
When I was done she took me upstairs, stripped me down to my boxers, threw me on the bed and gave me the greatest back rub ever.
"Now it's your turn to do me," she said stripping off her close and lying next to me.
"Not a problem," I replied and I quickly massaged her back and arms.
"Mmmm, that feels great," she moaned, "but you know what's time for?"
"I sure do," I replied.
We both jumped under the covers. She shut off the light and I turned on the TV and we curled up together and watched Grey's Anatomy. I fell asleep not long after.
The end.

In rememberance.
Last week on my way home from work I got caught in traffic caused by the motorcade of one of our fallen soldiers returning home. But don't get me wrong, this is not the type of traffic that upsets me in an angry way.I still get amazed at how much we Canadians care for our fallen soldiers. Still, after all these years we pile on the overpasses or pull over to the side of the road to show our respect for those who gave their lives in the pursuit of freedom.
Can any other nation say the same? The U.S. say they're patriotic but where's their Highway of Hero's? Are their citizens lining up to pay their respects on the highways? No. In fact President Obama recently did another presidential first but personally paying his respects to fallen American soldiers as they were taken off the plane. I'm sure back in the infancy of the U.S. the founding fathers honoured their soldiers. After all, they died building their "great" nation; I emphasised great as it is a matter of opinion. But in these modern times how are the American Presidents showing their respect?
Back in April I wrote two posts honouring our fallen soldiers: Lest We forget and Lest We Forget Part Two. Today I want to continue the list of our fallen soldiers:
