I run a very small board dedicated to the Troops and their support. All Troops, not just U.S. (since that's where I'm from). Some friends and I sponsor 4 of them currently. Anyway, I'm looking for articles on Canadian troops. I'm not interested in Political stuff, just articles on the Men and Women who serve. If anyone runs across some they'd like to share please PM me.

Thanks

A beautiful tribute to members of the Canadian military who have lost their lives in Afghanistan. http://members.shaw.ca/travner/CFTribute800x600.wmv It takes awhile to load but it's worth every second.

Beautiful indeed. Thank you.

I will put the link up for our folks to see.

My error, Blue. I just clicked on the link and it doesn't work. It was something I found a few months ago. I went to the web address posted in the link and that site is no longer up.

It's a shame it's gone. It really moves you when you see it.

And I thought it was my connection cause I'm on Dial up. Well thank you for the effort. If you find it let me know and I will post it.

Great article on the men who were involved in the world record breaking sniper kill. From Macleans a number of months ago.

A good place to perhaps take this to is www.army.ca great site, lots of people who are actice on the site, as well as a ton of us who just care about the troops.

Thank you Julio. I will certainly check that link out. Right now I only have one Canadian poster on my site so she's kind of swamped looking for stuff. Thanks for the link.

I don't know if this helps you, but it's some background on the Canadian military from CBC. It might also be a good starting point in finding more articles.

This is a list of articles from Canada's National Defense Website. There might be some in there you can use, depending on what specifically about Canadian soldiers you are looking for...

That's a news article about students wanting to show more support for Canadian troops.

Thank you! Those will help a lot. I found some good stuff about the Aussies this morning too. I will put it all up later. Many thanks for the help.

Fascinating article. Thanks for posting that. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more media attention . I think it would make great material for a Fifth Estate documentary.
