Say a Prayer for Canadian Hero
This Canadian soldier was on the frontlines of the War on Terror in Afghanistan when he was brutally attacked: They were saying prayers yesterday for Capt. Trevor Greene at an Orleans church... On Saturday, Capt. Greene was engaged in another act of trying to help a different kind of down-and-out people. He met tribal elders at a village north of Kandahar, Afghanistan, as a civilian affairs man tasked with not only understanding their needs, but meeting them. He laid down his helmet and gun, and sat and listened under a tree by a river. Then, a Taliban insurgent ambushed him, savagely attacking with an axe to the head. The soldier, an officer with the Seaforth Highlanders, had come in peace and left on gurney, and his colleagues wasted no seconds in shooting his attacker down... The captain, though in a war zone, let down his guard with the hopes of making peace over sips of tea. Still, an insurgent came at him with an axe and he is now listed in serious but stable condition at hospital in Germany. Thank you for you're service and sacrifice, Captain. Our prayers are with you. |
