We here at FR know the value of good friends and neighbors. And our country is learning that Canada is a good friend and neighbor. They are generally thought of as peace-niks but here they are fighting with us in Afghan in the War Against Terror.

According to the caption, this is the FIRST TIME since the Korean War that Canadian troops have been sent into battle.
