TGI Red Friday Kitties,

Big Ups to our men in service and our vetrans this Remembrance Day Weekend. To bring the magnitude of their service and sacrifice home, here's a little verse penned by our hometown hero Pte. Ryan Demeurichy while in Kandahar, Afghanistan this October:

Courage, Respect and honour we live by
We must not have fear to die

The choppers fly over head

If you want to send best wishes or some much needed supplies to Ryan specifically, talk to Connie, J-Vid or any of the Sandbar kitties to find out how to get hooked up.
