Hey snuffoff Glad you like the video. The song is called "Landing in London" off their album "Seventeen Days",released in 2005 by 3 Doors Down.

Unfortunately the video has to be updated as there have been more casualties since we posted it in October of 2006.

An heart-felt tribute... Much appreciation to those who put this video together.

I was in the military (NAVY) and I find it so sad that we die there. What saddens me most is the first clip, in the end was that the Bush Government made some horrible remarks about those troops and Canada. Since then I have been against the WAR. My son now serves. But if he should die and I say something negative, I do know that I will be squashed by the Harper Government as that poor Dad did during the elections last year. Harper you show respect as well, that would be nice and decent to.

If in this land of sand swept winds, and searing heat,

It should be that my life ends, my duty done.

Do not leave me here with those that caused my death,

Bring me home to rest in gentle sunshine, rain or snow,

And i will sleep content in this my native earth.

AND WHAT BETTER THAN GOLD FOR THE POPPY CROP INSTEAD OF SEEING IT DESTROYED?

The Afghan government's new opium eradication program ended in violent confrontation Monday as poppy-growing peasants in the town of Maiwand in Kandahar province greeted Afghan eradicators led by American mercenaries(DYNACORPS) with rocks, clubs, and bullets.The peasants need money! Buy the poppies with Gold Coins and they'll stop killing you!
