To the fathers in Afghanistan

A very warm Father’s Day wish to the men of the Canadian Forces who today are manning the Afghan front of the war against totalitarianism.  I know you wish you could be home today to be honoured by your children, wives (or partners, as the case may be) and extended family.

These sacrifices — the little things, if you will — sometimes go unnoticed.  Today, at ThePolitic, we remember and trust that, even though you are presently away from your loved ones, your return to loving arms will be hastened.

Have a safe and happy Father’s Day!
