Anthony K:

Just wanted to say "thanks" to you and all the other men and women serving with the coalition forces in Afghanistan. Words can't express the respect and admiration I have for the job you're doing. A lot of the Canadian kids that have paid the ultimate price over there were deployed from a base about an hour from where I live, and every time I see another group ship out, it reminds me to be thankful for all who answer their nation's call.

Have a Merry Christmas and a safe and healthy New Year.
