The more I read and listen to the more I realise why we left England. Living in Calgary, we have a lot of Canadian forces passing through, in uniform and proud to be wearing it. At a recent Flames game (NHL team), the team gave free tickets to a large number of soldiers who were off to play in the sandpit. They were asked onto the ice in full uniform and presented with team shirt, to a standing ovation from the 20,000 crowd.
