Four years tomorrow. Lest we forget.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them

May you forever RIP men .  Thank you for your service and you are not forgotten.

I can't really think of much to say that would feel worthy enough Jim- I hope it suffices that your son and his comrades will never be forgotten. Our generation will make sure to carry the honouring of our fallen with us into the future so that we can always know we're doing right by their memories.

Jim, in the hearts of their comrades, Mike and those who have died in the Service of their Nation will remembered with as much profoundness as the Regiment's battle honours.  For family and those friends close to Mike, he shall never be forgotten.  You have every right to be incredibly proud in your son's dedication and service.

RIP Mike, Andrew and Chad.


Regards
G2G

I know it cannot be any real consolation, Jim, but the words are true: they are, forever, young and vigorous and, in our hearts and memories, full of life and love and laughter. And we will remember them, Jim, always.

All these were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of their times.

They, and all the others, are not forgotten.

RIP
Hope the days get better Jim,

 

[Eye In The Sky]

I don't have the words of tribute, or eloquence these 3 Canadians are worthy of, so I will simply say...

RIP lads, RIP knowing we will not forget you.

   

 

[vonGarvin]

I recall being rather sleep deprived after my arrival in KAF, and on my second full day there, being witness to the tragedy then unfolding off to our west.  Then, of course, saying farewell to three warriors on the tarmac, sending them home, but home much too early.  Not a day goes by that this day doesn't cross my mind.

RIP.

RIP troops  .



Jim S - my regards to you and yours.
