Default ... and people wonder why I'm proud to be Canadian.

The one I think gets me the most is the guy standing on the central reservation. Just a regular Joe stops what he's doing, hops out of his truck and honors a fallen hero. That's just too much for words for me.

As much as it can be given such a sad event, its is wonderful to see a country which really cares about its soliders.

That is impressive. When I was in Atlanta airport over the summer I heard a lot of people clapping and cheering and I assumed that someone famous was there. Turns out that it was soldiers returning from Iraq and people at the airport were giving them a heros welcome.
