Blog Entry: my own triobute to one soldiers death in Afghanistan, why did Canada get involved in the first place One Hundred and Forty Seven Another Canadian Soldier lost And one more family pay the cost The cost we know that’s far too high For Wives and children left to cry Mothers and Fathers, siblings too Uncles and Aunts, Cousins he knew Old friends he’ll never see again A Soldiers death fills many with pain He lost his life to a roadside bomb As other Mothers sons have done The terrible price these Soldiers pay Prevent them from seeing another day These men and women live on in our hearts We will never forget them and never will part Patheir memoryforever, alive in our minds Pray that their comrades don’t also  step on a mine To our Soldiers and Sailors and Airmen too We thank you dear people for all that you do Politician’s just talk, but you seal the breech The breech that our foes continue to seek Arthur Val Hoolachan © 9th June 2010
