They brought Sgt. Andrew Doiron back to Canada today, and I was glad to see that thousands of Canadians turned out to welcome him home down the Highway of Heroes.
Once I thought that reception was too militaristic, and too American.
But now I think it's right that we should value every life, and honour those who lose their lives in the service of Canada.
Too bad, Cpl. Stuart Langridge and his family weren't so lucky.
