Our human dad is an officer in the Canadian Forces. As such, he has participated in many different missions around the world, including serving in Kuwait during the first Gulf War, peacekeeping missions in Haiti, Bosnia, and Eritrea, and domestic operations such as the Winnipeg Floods in 1997. We are very proud of him and the work that he does, along with all the other members of the Canadian Forces, and all the other men and women who serve throughout the world.
Currently, Canada has a large number of men and women serving in Afghanistan. Although the news focuses on their engagements with the Taliban, they do a lot of good work for the local people, as they do wherever they are deployed. They build roads, bridges, docks, and as well as schools and other buildings; they do demining operations, so it is safe for people to travel through roads and fields that previously held dangerous mines; they provide medical care for the local people; they distribute toys and other items for the local children; and they do many other wonderful, helpful things that you seldom read about in the newspapers or hear about on the news.
Even though we are very proud of our dad and all that he does, we do wish that the conflicts throughout the world would end, and that all the men and women serving overseas could return to their families.
We pray daily for all the men and women who are deployed, and fervently hope that they come home safely to their families.

Peace and Love !
Beautiful peace globe and a thoughtful post. Dona Nobis Pacem
Your dad does a very wonderful job. We wish there would be more Peace in the world as well.
Mom is actually allergic to kitties. They didn't figure that out until a few years later. Hence the dogs, not cats.
Peace is good, so more of it would be better! :)
Peace to you and your family - especially your dad bean.

Peace to you and yours Dragonheart and Merlin. I think it is important to remind us of all the GOOD that our troops can do, when deployed wisely. I believe that is the worst of unjust wars--soldiers bear the burden of poor choices by those in power, not just in the war they fight but in perception of who they are.
(Thank you for the great photos!)
That is a wonderful post reminding us about all the good the military can do. Thanks, DH and Merlin! You have a gorgeous peace globe.
Peace and purrs to you both and your family.
All we are asking...
Peace to us all!

Special thanks to your human dad for his service!

Peace to you guys!
I think a wish for peace from a soldier is a powerful commentary. Thank you for the good works. May all our dreams of peace come true.
Much Peace to our dear friends! Your dad is an amazing man to help out in the way he does. While we all wish conflict would end at least we know there are wonderful people fighting for peace.
Love your Friends,
Kaze, Latte, & Chase
Sending over peaceful *nose-licks* to you and the ones you love :-P

Danke für die lieben Geburtstagswünsche!
We are very proud of your dad.
Many here in the US do not think about all of the good our troops do over there...
Wonderful peace graphic!!
Lovely globe & great post, Dragonheart & Merlin!
Peace,
Lux
I thank you dad for all he does in the Canadian Forces to make lives better in Afghanistan. It is a thankless job that often goes unnoticed. You're right. The war gets reported but the good being done by the soldiers is not so much.
Time to say thank you.
And also for blogging for peace in our world today.
Peace to you and yours,
Mimi
A big thank you to your Dad and all the other brave people and their families for making such sacrifices to ensure we live in a more peaceful world. My Mum and I also hope and pray that all the conflicts around the world would end and we could truly have a peaceful world.
I love your peace globe, that is a very nice picture of both of you.
What a moving post! Peace from our house to yours!
So often, when troops are involved in situations like Iraq, the focus is on the killing and destroying that goes on. Yet, there are humanitarian efforts that take place on a daily basis...some official, some not. Thanks for reminding us that being in uniform in a foreign country is not necessarily a bad thing.
Peace!
we are with you 100%! purrin for peace, but supporting the brave men and woman in green.
Let's be Paws for Peace.
Great Globe. Will be putting mine up today.
