• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

It is a sad day when I see a story like this, I have always held a special respect for anyone who chooses a career to serve and protect the citizens of their country, Military, Police, Firefighting, EMT all the services that could, or will put the person in very real personal danger each time they go to work. These folks are heroic to the core IMHO, the one group that I especially look up to are what we call here in Canada the SAR Tech's - Search and Rescue Tech's (I am not sure of the designation in other countries), these folks are SPECIAL! Today we lost one of our SAR Tech's in a rescue mission he gave his life to save anothers - there is nothing more heroic in Ole Gig's mind.

Here is a link to one of the stories from CBC today - http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2011/10/28/north-soldier-igloolik-death.html

I know I will be remembering Sgt. Janick Gilbert t424 (Tiger) Squadron - Search and Rescue his coming Rememberance Day along with all my other heros who choose to serve and protect.
