As a PROUD Ex Military Member and an even more Prouder Military Wife, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video! Its a beautiful recognition to our Men & Women in uniform! Bless you!
Well, if you've got a Brit, Canadian, US and NZ'er in a fox hole with dull finger nail files facing 1,000 heavily armed enemy troops, ya' almost feel sorry for the enemy!
@fullwhitt - I'm sorry you feel that way. One of the images I used, the one where the 4 soldiers are walking together in combat fatigues away from the camera is of the Australian Army - I created this movie to thank MY soldiers, the Canadians - because I AM CANADIAN. I felt I needed to express my appreciation for what My Country's Soldiers have done. I am very proud of them - If you feel that not enough recognition is given to your Country's soldiers, why don't you make something for them?
@fullwhitt Can I make a suggestion! Why don't you make a video clip(s) of Australian and the New Zealander Soldiers. Just asking?!! For if you make one I will watch it.
@fullwhitt i appreciate the sacrifices made by the aussies and new zealanders i love fighting alongside the allied forces because it is and always will be the strongest alliance on gods earth and nothing will defeat us
@fullwhitt Its up to your country to honour your troops like ours honours ours. We all apprecaite the effort from every country. Ive worked with the aussies and kiwis and we appreciate the efforts they made. Maybe you could do a video mate. What do you think?
@fullwhitt , i am a canadian soldier, and i know that you do the same sacrifice than us, the same losses, the same gain, the same buddys ect... but as i can see, i have to consider myself and my buddys, my element, my unit, army, gouvernement,ect to be really lucky to have so much tap on the shoulders by all canadians ( a bit less by people from quebec but.. still they do it their way)..
@fullwhitt , btw, do you thinkl we fight for you? no.. we fight to change the situation and the life of each of us for something better.. if you are military you should have understood that by long time ago..
Liberty and freedom .... our soldiers are their champions
May their flag draped coffins be not in vain. Keep the standard high my brothers and sisters in arms. I solute you and your hard work and upstanding values. You will not be forgotten.
She can call it whatever she wants just as you can make one and call it Our soldiers, mothers and daughters! This is in no means disrepectful. Iam a soldier and have been for 20 yrs! My point is let her call it what ever she wants...she doesnt need your input! Cheers
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded sense of moral or patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth war is worse. The man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight nothing more than his own personal safety is the most miserable creature who will never be free
unless made and kept so by the exertions of men greater than himself. John Mills
Thank you Warriors for my freedom! You fought for us there we will fight for you here!!!
my brother went...but he never came bak RIP bro i will always remember you in my heart even in the things you did that annoyed me youll always be my big best brother up their or werever u are pray for ma other bro that is now in the war dont let him leave this world the way you did hes only 19 =_-(
prob must be the best tribute to the familys ive ever seen for myself ive been there and let me tell you its usally what gets you through the tuff times knowing your family will be waiting for you and that people care about what your doing
If anyone reading this uses Facebook please feel free to join my FB group- Support Wounded Canadian Soldiers - This group is not about the war it is about the wounded warriors.
All the admins in the group are CF members and 5 out of the 8 admins are wounded warriors from Afghanistan and 1 from a sever Airborne jump equipment accident.
yea.. the US government is the real devil for helping a group of people defend their country. but the taliban is just making home made bombs and blowing themselves up on busy street corners but the US government is the devil.. no evidence that the US government did it or w/e you believe but yet thats what you believe.. truly dumb
If that is what you truly believe then it is you who is the fool. There is evidence that the Taliban was involved with the 9/11 attack. There were four planes not 8. The U.S did not create the Taliban. Why dont you read up on current events or history. Better yet go back to school.
its also sad you have to send message to people directly cause you are running out of reasons to justify what you are saying so this way not everyone see it, but btw, to answer the comment you sent me in private, we are not in afghanistan cause we ''have'' to follow US, if it was the case we would be in Iraq as well, please before speaking and think you're smart, go see how UN and NATO work, cause you are totally an ignorant, sir
It's just so difficult to watch, but i seem to be drawn to it. I'm an Army Ranger wife...........I hope forever..............it's a hard life for both of us, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. My Ranger makes me proud!
because u always look at others as a second class human. for u killing ONE MILLION innocent people is only a number, like 1 million dollar. but for me is Mothers who are crying for the rest of their life, for me is children raising without parents, for me is hungary people who run to Iran, Syria & other neighbors to feed their family, for me is people who visiting graves everyday & crying for hours. for me is people without food, electricity and water.
How u can be proud, U are talking about Freedom & fooling people that u brought freedom to Iraq.
FOR GOD SEEK, people dont have food to eat, dont have clean water to drink, no electricity, u destroyed all the buildings & universities. u made IRAQ to looks like a village.
Why do u think u can Occupy, kill, muder innocent people under the name of Democracy & Freedom.
How come u donated all kind of weapons to Saddam to kill Iranian, but suudenly u realized he was Dectator & u attacked Iraq?!!?!?
these people are amazing. although they may be someone we'll never get to know, to you and me they are heroes. some dead and alive but no matter what, they will always be remembered for putting their life on the line to give us freedom and a might better life.
Greetings from Brazil. Hope our american friends find peace. So sad those young men that dye for political reasons, for petroleum or worse: to support Israel and its abuses. Hope they dont dye for a lye.
Why would you even post this, "Way to die for nothing people" You have no idea what your talking about. These soldiers ar dying not only to keep innocent people safe, but also so that your children won't have to do it when they are older! So keep your stupid comments to yourself, and just be proud you don't live in a country as crappy as Afghanistan. God Bless our soldiers who give idiots like this freedom of speech!
im from the uk not a soldier but i still respect everyone in iraq and afganistan god bless the soilders the pilots the medics and the seamen we thank you all
Even if its about money whyshould we pull our troops out. They believe with enough time and effort they can make a difference in afganastan help these poor people who without them have little chance at a good life.
If you didn't want to sound cocky then don't say it at all and the man was correct in saying that Canada was in Iraq they may have lessened thier contribution but they are still there in and advisary and reconstruction management role...and before you argue, I was there and I saw them and spoke to them
Ya there are soldiers there just not alot. Mainly special forces and support units. Not enough though to actually have a major contribution or to actually have it as a war Canada participates in
We have been crating people who hate us through our POOR foreign policies over the last several decades. The US is pushing us into these affairs under lies and deception open your eyes.
Our canadian government is corrupt and is a lapdog to the US and UN's will.
There is no proof of anything or anyone ever wanting canadians to go to afgahnistan except the US asking us.
The media is own'd and sencored by the government you dont get all the correct facts.
Keep your damn thoughts to yourself okay? This video is dedicated to the soldiers who go and fight and die, and if you dont support what they do thats bloody fine but just remember these soldiers will fight and die for you to keep you safe even if you believe they are fighting a false war.
My husband is currently on an 8 month tour in Afghanistan and we have a 2 year old and an 8 month old, and that video just touched me sooo deeply. I have never heard that song before until now, thank you so much for sharing it :)
Saddam used many tool of killing many more of his people then we have in this war and i have come across his prisons witch where they thourched people and even young kid from 15 up. I am an american soldier and i am very thankful for the help canadian and coaltion soldiers. Most people there Welcome us most of the fighting comes into iraq from other places. I thank your soldiers for their sacrifice and They are in my Prayers.
Even if the whole world were to fight the US you could count on Canada to remain by your side. Really with us together the other sods dont stand a fighting chance lol. Long Live Canada and her Great Ally the USA
Yes the innocent civilians are good cos they're not trying to kill anyone yet they're involve quite heavily in the war just for being in the wrong place most often ://
I am truely sorry for your loss i really am, i hope you succed though in joining the military. I myself plan on joining the navy soon so good luck. Also Happy New Year
Hero there is a difference between the soldiers mission and the mission the government tells them to do. Be careful not to mix the two up or els you will be disrespecting good honest people
I say screw the government for being greedy but let our soldiers try and accompish what they went over to do. Dont trash them and their mission or pull them out before they cna do what they want to do which is give these people a better life
Ask most coalition soldiers from different nations why they go and fight and i guarentee a majority of them will tell you they do it because they believe if they work hard enough maybe just maybe they will give these people a better chance at life. Is that an unjust cause to fight? Take it from me i dont support why the governments fight evne if they just do it for power, i still support the soldiers who are willing to die to protect other people and give them and their families a better life
And your last lne doesnt make sense "If the coalition was there to help they would airstrike highways." I personally dont agree with the iraq invasion okay but the military wants to help these people and they are trying to help them. These soldiers die to help give these people a better life and to say they are just being killed for no reason is wrong. As long as the soldiers are willing to fight to help these people then i say go on fight for whats right. But the government can kiss my ass lol
lol i was thinking tht, cause it didnt make sense the other way. But ya armed men are going to get trouble and they know that, but that doesnt mean they still cant help. (still this is one of those regions where if soldiers and other international people arent armed and prepared properly they will still get trouble.)
Well help is a lot more convincing when sanctions are not imposed limiting food and medicine along with bombing campaigns way before the invasion began.
Also money is more helpful than shattering their economy and security and killing vast amounts of people beyond even what Saddam could ever do.
It's very hard to believe they're helping anyone and i all that i wish is that they come home. At least with the coaltion absence - we'll know if we're helping or not by what happens after.
Well im nto sure about Iraq but in afganastan i know we are doing good. We are giving money to the people, i can guarentee you that, and we put our own troops out in dangerous areas to patrol cities and help train the national army and police forces. I cant speak for iraq or american troops for they are not ours but Canadian troops and there mission in afganastan are doing good or at least rying there very hardest to help. But to really now if what we did will help we will simply have to wait.
Okay Canadian soldiers do seem to be more helpful but it's not the same for American soldiers. The Americans have this thing about guns and explosions - it makes many of them feel powerful and about 90% of them have ego issues.
They're not as professional and a "trigger happy" American soldiers is not a steep or unjustified sterotype. American soldiers have even been known to kill their own in what we call "friendly fire" even though it's not friendly at all.
i hear you, weve been on the opposite end of american friendlyy fire. Ex. US bomber drops anti personal missile on 4 soldiers doing parade training. But then again it wasnt the piolts fault either . He was a new recruit who while flying got hit by a bullet from our troops doing the whole gun salut thing and thought he was being shot at soo he fired just as an impulse. I think the only difference between trigger happy troops and our troops is experience. Recruits just dont have the same experince
are you from canada bitch cuz what you posted is what i take as an insult to my father who was recently killed in iraq. canada is great but what you said should have staid to your self
If it was about stealing oil why Iraq or Afganastan. Barely any good quality oil there anyway, it would be much cheaper and easier to set up in a safer location like northern Canada or southern USA.
Dont get me wrong i dont condone what the governments did, or there reasons for invading Iraq, but there is a difference between supporting the mission the troops fight and the one the governments want.
So you are telling me soldiers are being told to do what the government wants? Okay then what is it the government wants? Oil? Soldiers arent drilling for oil. The government tells them who to fight and for how long, they dont tell them how to complete mission or how to fight the enemy. Those people are the troops COs.
The soldiers missions are still to do with the objective of freeing the oil there. The people on the ground may not see that because it's desert and villages for them, the people at the top know what it's about and we shouldn't trust them.
it doesnt matter that much though if its for oil or not Most not if all soldiers fight for the people not the government. I agree we cant trust anyone who is in power because they are suseptible to greed but that doesnt make what our troops are trying to accomplish and worse. If the government want to be greedy bastards fine but if that means it gives our troops a chance to do some good in a place that has been plauged with evil then let them stay. Because really it isnt our troops being greedy
Your last two comments are biased. Just because you have superior firepower doesnt mean you kill more people. Ever hear of rules of engagement used by international militaries. Well it applies to coaltion forces. According to these rules we are not allowed to kill civilans on purpose. Of course there will be accidentle deaths but that is because the enemy hides within the civilans. You obviously are just starting to rant about how evil we are, and just take everything i say and turn it around.
Maybe in iraq there are more air strikes, but the coalition forces in afganastan rarely use aircraft for offense purposes unless the soldiers are in need of immediate support. But unless you can give me proof that airstrikes are used on crowds alot then your comment can only be counted as opinion based not factual
Hero if you would like to know more about what our soldiers do, especially in Afganastan then read the book 15 Days. It follows around a company of Canadian soldiers to show the public what there troops are doing. You will be suprised to hear some of the horrors our soldiers put themselves through to try and help these people
Also just to tell you, im nto sure about Iraq but in afganastan, NATo soldiers go around to their old battle fields and pay the farmers or landowners compensation money to repay fro the damage caused by the NATO forces. So far canada alone has give over 100,000 dollars. If we were the oppressers why would we give our money away? I dont see the taliban or al-queada going around and paying the people for the damage caused by their bombs do you?
There's a big difference between NATO and Al Queda, one are the invaders and the other are on their own land. Who has more right to blow stuff up?
They'll blow our armour up if it's in their land illegally because they're simply too dangerous too allow. Consider their rights on EQUAL terms and you won't appear so biased.
Yes i dont dislike them for fighting back, but i dont think its right of them to blow up there own people either? do you think they have the right to commit mass murder whenever the want to?
Well you remember the 1st Gulf war - the US airstriked a highway. Type in "highway of death" into youTube and you'll see footage of the carnage that western aggression can.
I dont condone what the US did but you have to remember that was a real war against a real army so of course there would be carnage. It happens in every war between two countries, so of course you can say that each army will be aggressive and destructive.
We're way more aggressive and when you witness the ruins left behind from a bombing seeing civilian buses etc you really must ask are these American bombers blind, stupid, currupt or pawns?
You havent shown any proof either. Where i get my information is from canadian and other coalition soldiers who have done tours of duty. More often afganastan the Iraq though. I also get nfo from friends who used to live there also.
Served in kandahar Afghanistan in 2007 with the canadian army, touching vid.. most soldiers and there family and friends go through exactally what this video shows, war times are hard times. RIP to all the fallen.
I doubt you even know anything about the war. U say for oil cause others say for oil, but yet those troops fight and die not to make money or to give oil to thegovernment to stop the terrorist so that we can lve in peace without fear of getting blown up.
Terroism has been around way longer than this war. Its only now in the worlds attention. And you dont see soldiers over there pumping oil there over there fighting the terrorist and trying to help the people. We arent digging oil wells were digging for water, and peace to give htose people a chance for freedom. The places our governments are digging for oil are in the beaufort sea, not in the middle east. Those are private industires digging there
the oil within iraq and afganastan is no where near the amount of untapped oil in the US and Canada. Yes war does cause terror but it also creates safety and peace when it ends. THose extremesits cause much terror for people more terror then our militaries could possibly do. Iraq is debatable but Canadas missin in Afganastan there is no debate behind the mktives

Renegade, u r right i dont have any idea?
because u always look at others as a second class human. for u killing ONE MILLION innocent people is only a number, like 1 million dollar. but for me is Mothers who are crying for the rest of their life, for me is children raising without parents, for me is hungary people who run to Iran, Syria & other neighbors to feed their family, for me is people who visiting graves everyday & crying for hours. for me is people without food, electricity and water.

How u can be proud, U are talking about Freedom & fooling people that u brought freedom to Iraq.
FOR GOD SEEK, people dont have food to eat, dont have clean water to drink, no electricity, u destroyed all the buildings & universities. u made IRAQ to looks like a village.
Why do u think u can Occupy, kill, muder innocent people under the name of Democracy & Freedom.
How come u donated all kind of weapons to Saddam to kill Iranian, but suudenly u realized he was Dectator & u attacked Iraq?!!?!?

So keep your stupid comments to yourself, and just be proud you don't live in a country as crappy as Afghanistan. God Bless our soldiers who give idiots like this freedom of speech!

We have been crating people who hate us through our POOR foreign policies over the last several decades. The US is pushing us into these affairs under lies and deception open your eyes.
Our canadian government is corrupt and is a lapdog to the US and UN's will.
There is no proof of anything or anyone ever wanting canadians to go to afgahnistan except the US asking us.
The media is own'd and sencored by the government you dont get all the correct facts.

Hero there is a difference between the soldiers mission and the mission the government tells them to do. Be careful not to mix the two up or els you will be disrespecting good honest people
72Canadian72 3 years ago
I say screw the government for being greedy but let our soldiers try and accompish what they went over to do. Dont trash them and their mission or pull them out before they cna do what they want to do which is give these people a better life
72Canadian72 3 years ago
Ask most coalition soldiers from different nations why they go and fight and i guarentee a majority of them will tell you they do it because they believe if they work hard enough maybe just maybe they will give these people a better chance at life. Is that an unjust cause to fight? Take it from me i dont support why the governments fight evne if they just do it for power, i still support the soldiers who are willing to die to protect other people and give them and their families a better life
72Canadian72 3 years ago
And your last lne doesnt make sense "If the coalition was there to help they would airstrike highways." I personally dont agree with the iraq invasion okay but the military wants to help these people and they are trying to help them. These soldiers die to help give these people a better life and to say they are just being killed for no reason is wrong. As long as the soldiers are willing to fight to help these people then i say go on fight for whats right. But the government can kiss my ass lol
72Canadian72 3 years ago
I meant to say "If the coalition was there to help they would not airstrike highways."
You don't help people by fighting them, armed men in any nation illegally is asking for trouble.
AmericanHero911 3 years ago
lol i was thinking tht, cause it didnt make sense the other way. But ya armed men are going to get trouble and they know that, but that doesnt mean they still cant help. (still this is one of those regions where if soldiers and other international people arent armed and prepared properly they will still get trouble.)
72Canadian72 3 years ago
Well help is a lot more convincing when sanctions are not imposed limiting food and medicine along with bombing campaigns way before the invasion began.
Also money is more helpful than shattering their economy and security and killing vast amounts of people beyond even what Saddam could ever do.
It's very hard to believe they're helping anyone and i all that i wish is that they come home. At least with the coaltion absence - we'll know if we're helping or not by what happens after.
AmericanHero911 3 years ago
Well im nto sure about Iraq but in afganastan i know we are doing good. We are giving money to the people, i can guarentee you that, and we put our own troops out in dangerous areas to patrol cities and help train the national army and police forces. I cant speak for iraq or american troops for they are not ours but Canadian troops and there mission in afganastan are doing good or at least rying there very hardest to help. But to really now if what we did will help we will simply have to wait.
72Canadian72 3 years ago
Okay Canadian soldiers do seem to be more helpful but it's not the same for American soldiers. The Americans have this thing about guns and explosions - it makes many of them feel powerful and about 90% of them have ego issues.
They're not as professional and a "trigger happy" American soldiers is not a steep or unjustified sterotype. American soldiers have even been known to kill their own in what we call "friendly fire" even though it's not friendly at all.
AmericanHero911 3 years ago
i hear you, weve been on the opposite end of american friendlyy fire. Ex. US bomber drops anti personal missile on 4 soldiers doing parade training. But then again it wasnt the piolts fault either . He was a new recruit who while flying got hit by a bullet from our troops doing the whole gun salut thing and thought he was being shot at soo he fired just as an impulse. I think the only difference between trigger happy troops and our troops is experience. Recruits just dont have the same experince
72Canadian72 3 years ago
Hmmmm, friendly fire is still the height of n00bishm tho.

AmericanHero911 3 years ago
If it was about stealing oil why Iraq or Afganastan. Barely any good quality oil there anyway, it would be much cheaper and easier to set up in a safer location like northern Canada or southern USA.
Dont get me wrong i dont condone what the governments did, or there reasons for invading Iraq, but there is a difference between supporting the mission the troops fight and the one the governments want.
72Canadian72 3 years ago
The mission is really what the government wants. The soldiers are just pawns fed agendas they want to hear but don't orintate their mission around.
If the coalition was there to help they would airstrike highways.
AmericanHero911 3 years ago
So you are telling me soldiers are being told to do what the government wants? Okay then what is it the government wants? Oil? Soldiers arent drilling for oil. The government tells them who to fight and for how long, they dont tell them how to complete mission or how to fight the enemy. Those people are the troops COs.
72Canadian72 3 years ago
The soldiers missions are still to do with the objective of freeing the oil there. The people on the ground may not see that because it's desert and villages for them, the people at the top know what it's about and we shouldn't trust them.
AmericanHero911 3 years ago
it doesnt matter that much though if its for oil or not Most not if all soldiers fight for the people not the government. I agree we cant trust anyone who is in power because they are suseptible to greed but that doesnt make what our troops are trying to accomplish and worse. If the government want to be greedy bastards fine but if that means it gives our troops a chance to do some good in a place that has been plauged with evil then let them stay. Because really it isnt our troops being greedy
72Canadian72 3 years ago
Your last two comments are biased. Just because you have superior firepower doesnt mean you kill more people. Ever hear of rules of engagement used by international militaries. Well it applies to coaltion forces. According to these rules we are not allowed to kill civilans on purpose. Of course there will be accidentle deaths but that is because the enemy hides within the civilans. You obviously are just starting to rant about how evil we are, and just take everything i say and turn it around.
72Canadian72 3 years ago
No i've just seen a lot of bombings and airstikes on crowds. Do you think airstikes liberate people too?
AmericanHero911 3 years ago
Maybe in iraq there are more air strikes, but the coalition forces in afganastan rarely use aircraft for offense purposes unless the soldiers are in need of immediate support. But unless you can give me proof that airstrikes are used on crowds alot then your comment can only be counted as opinion based not factual
72Canadian72 3 years ago
Hero if you would like to know more about what our soldiers do, especially in Afganastan then read the book 15 Days. It follows around a company of Canadian soldiers to show the public what there troops are doing. You will be suprised to hear some of the horrors our soldiers put themselves through to try and help these people
72Canadian72 3 years ago
And the whole invaders thing, depends on who you ask. Some say the west are invaders while some say we are liberators.
72Canadian72 3 years ago
The west have killed over a million civilians, liberation from life? LOL
AmericanHero911 3 years ago
Also just to tell you, im nto sure about Iraq but in afganastan, NATo soldiers go around to their old battle fields and pay the farmers or landowners compensation money to repay fro the damage caused by the NATO forces. So far canada alone has give over 100,000 dollars. If we were the oppressers why would we give our money away? I dont see the taliban or al-queada going around and paying the people for the damage caused by their bombs do you?
72Canadian72 3 years ago
There's a big difference between NATO and Al Queda, one are the invaders and the other are on their own land. Who has more right to blow stuff up?
They'll blow our armour up if it's in their land illegally because they're simply too dangerous too allow. Consider their rights on EQUAL terms and you won't appear so biased.
AmericanHero911 3 years ago
Yes i dont dislike them for fighting back, but i dont think its right of them to blow up there own people either? do you think they have the right to commit mass murder whenever the want to?
72Canadian72 3 years ago
It's probably not intended but if you've ever heard of "friendly fire" you'll know it's not just one side making these mistakes.

AmericanHero911 3 years ago
I dont condone what the US did but you have to remember that was a real war against a real army so of course there would be carnage. It happens in every war between two countries, so of course you can say that each army will be aggressive and destructive.
72Canadian72 3 years ago
We're way more aggressive and when you witness the ruins left behind from a bombing seeing civilian buses etc you really must ask are these American bombers blind, stupid, currupt or pawns?

The war is provoking terrorism and we all know it's for oil.
AmericanHero911 3 years ago
Terroism has been around way longer than this war. Its only now in the worlds attention. And you dont see soldiers over there pumping oil there over there fighting the terrorist and trying to help the people. We arent digging oil wells were digging for water, and peace to give htose people a chance for freedom. The places our governments are digging for oil are in the beaufort sea, not in the middle east. Those are private industires digging there
72Canadian72 3 years ago
War is the terrorism, it's spreading far more terror than a bunch of extremists could.
Some of us just can't ignore the glitches within 9/11 and the motives for such military presence in the middle east does seem very debatable.
We know how much oil the middle east has so you can imagine there must be some interest there and a lot they're probably already getting away with.
AmericanHero911 3 years ago
the oil within iraq and afganastan is no where near the amount of untapped oil in the US and Canada. Yes war does cause terror but it also creates safety and peace when it ends. THose extremesits cause much terror for people more terror then our militaries could possibly do. Iraq is debatable but Canadas missin in Afganastan there is no debate behind the mktives
