You're very welcome, Ford. I was proud to be a Pens' fan last night!

Re: For those interested in honouring the fallen Cdn soldier

It is heartbreaking to know that this innocent young man's life was taken way too soon. My heart goes out to his family. I hope they will find some comfort in knowing that the rest of the world cares and are praying for our Canadian friends.

That was lovely, thank you so much reese2. So very thoughtful of you to post that for me. I'm sure others will appreciate it too.

It is the least Americans can do. I remember the pics of our Canadian friends waving the flag of Canada along with our flag after 9/11 to show support and unity.

I'm both sad and angry about this so red will be fitting for Friday. The song is beautiful.

He did not deserve to die. He left behind a young son, parents and other family members.

When some gunman goes from building to building firing shots with intent to kill, he is striking fear and terror in people. Mental illness or not IMO he is a terrorist!

It breaks my heart to look at his photo, knowing his totally senseless fate.
