MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Prime Minister Harper says Canadians stand in "awe" of the four soldiers who died in Afghanistan Friday.
Harper made mention of the soldiers during a speech to the Ontario Federation of Hunters and Anglers in Mississauga, Ont. Saturday.
Harper said Canadians ask a lot of their military and no job is as important or as dangerous than the mission in Afghanistan.
Master Cpl. Scott Vernelli and Cpl. Tyler Crooks died Friday morning while on foot patrol in Zhari District, west of Kandahar City.
Later in the day, Trooper Jack Bouthillier and Trooper Corey Joseph Hayes died in a roadside bombing in Shah Wali Kot northeast of the city.
Their bodies are on their way home to Canada.

It is about time - as a grandparent I have watched our kids (who were allowed to fail although I do remember some nagging on our part) learn, I have watched our children now micro-manage their children. A big part of it is the fact that there are predators out there and an extreme reluctance on the parents part to alllow freedom that might result in the children becoming victims.
