Dear women and men serving me and my country overseas, thank you very much for doing what most of us couldn't do. It is because of you that we call Canada, home, the safest and best country to live in. My heart, all of our hearts, go out to you. A salute will never be enough to convey what you mean to all of us. Thank you.
