Two good men are lost.
Corporal Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent will be missed.
They shall not be forgotten.
Go here to share your thoughts and leave condolences.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

So often it seems to come to this; the crushing cost of awakening the apathetic. These heroes did not die in vain, because they died defending the world from evil. It remains to be seen, however, if Canada and other western societies will stir themselves before more heroes have to die. Consider this: if Cirillo or Vincent had publicly voiced concerns about their safety in light of the threat of potential islamic violence, each would have been subject to arrest and criminal prosecution under Canada's hate crimes law.
ReplyDeleteThere is always a cost.
