The real story of a Hero (as told by Mike)

This story was posted by a young man who I am proud to say is part of my world. He started blogging recently. He had a lot of material to get out, he said.

This story is different however. It stopped me dead.

It is about his reaction to a friend who is heading off to Afghanistan with the Canadian Armed Forces as a proud and confident Canadian soldier. Please check out the full story here: http://lifeofalord.blogspot.com/2009/03/i-met-hero-today.html

His story reminded me that the freedom we enjoy in Canada is earned and defended by the brave actions of young men just like Dan. I don't know Dan, but I owe him a great debt for overcoming his fears and choosing to fight for Canada.

Thanks for sharing Mike.
