Operation Rudolph
The government tells us that 2005 is the Year of the Veteran, and that we should remember with honour, those who served this country and gave the ultimate sacrifice for us. The Government is absolutely right on this point. But as we remember, cherish, and pay hommage to those heros of the past, we should not for get those heros of the present.
…telling the Men and Women of the Canadian Forces that we care…
Operation Rudolph is a way you can make a difference this Christmas Season. It is run by the Canadian Coalition for Democracies, and whether or not you agree with the politics, it’s not about that, it’s about telling the Men and Women of the Canadian Forces that we care about what they are doing for Canada. We all want peace. We all want an end to war. These are issues for the politicians to sort out, politicians we elected and politicians we can change if we don’t like what they are doing. But the soldiers go and serve because our country orders them to. We have a duty to support them on whatever mission we send them on.
“Please take a minute to buy a holiday gift for our soldiers in Afghanistan. You can make a secure online donation or call 1-877-383-8320. You will receive a tax receipt for your donation.
You can also join the many students and adults who are sending a thank-you note to our troops for building democracy in Afghanistan and security here at home.”
So take a minute and send a note or make a donation and let the soldiers of today know that their country appreciates them, and hopes for their safety.
