I thought this was good. It’s a news release from the Prime Minister’s office about his visit to a military training facility to support our new graduating troops.
Prime Minister salutes graduating soldiers
April 13, 2006
Wainwright, AlbertaPrime Minister Stephen Harper today visited the Land Force Western Area Training Centre located at the Canadian Forces Base in Wainwright, Alberta. The Prime Minister served as a Reviewing Officer for soldiers graduating from the Basic Infantry Qualification Course.
“As many former graduates will tell you, serving one’s country is an honour, especially when this country has such a proud and rich history as Canada has,” said Prime Minister Harper. “As you stand up for Canada, rest assured my government will stand up for you.”
And you thought the Conservative Party campaign slogan (“Stand up for Canada”) was just hooey, typical of the ubiquitous liberal-left politicians’ hooey everywhere? Apparently not.
Furthermore…
The Prime Minister also addressed the graduating soldiers from the military’s junior leadership course.
[…] Reflecting on the recently graduated soldiers, Prime Minister Harper added that “these young soldiers are now part of a true noble profession – the Canadian military.”
And we here at ProudToBeCanadian.ca got our name from thinking of folks like you soldiers, and we salute you.
