Woman recalls efforts to save Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at War Memorial [you are loved, you are brave...]
CBC Radio ^ | October 23, 2014 | Carol Off speaks with Barbara Winters

Posted on 10/24/2014 12:06:08 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

People across the country are mourning the death of Corporal Nathan Cirillo today. Since his shooting death at the war memorial in Ottawa, there has been an outpouring of sympathy for his family and his comrades in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders reserve force.

Barbara Winters shares that feeling. She is now a lawyer but she spent 17 years in the Naval Reserve. And she was one of those who came to the aid of Nathan Cirillo yesterday in the moments after he was attacked.

In an emotional interview with As It Happens host Carol Off, she recalls her efforts trying to save the life of Cpl. Cirollo. "I told him you are loved. You are brave. You are good."

Forget sending just sympathy. Send his child donations of money for support.

All these cowardly Islamists are doing is adjusting attitudes and preparing the west for what will eventually need to be done with their murdering death cult.

Ms. Winters is wonderful. It is moving to know Cpl. Cirillo did not die alone.

Can we not go after these scum who post this jihidi b.s., and the mosques who sponsor this hate in our country? They do not deserve the protections of free speech to promulgate this hateful rhetoric.

I’m hearing less and less political correctness from the plain speaking Canuks.

Our Civil War soldiers - both sides - were overwhelmingly decent people. I so honor their sacrifice as well as this young soldier’s.
