Gentlemen of the NsHL, I know it's a day late but I wanted to express the fact that we have a hero in our league. Yesterday in Canada, it was Remembrance Day. I believe you Americans call it Veterans Day. And as I paid tribute to our fallen Canadians, I couldn't help but keep thinking of our own Greg Stack, who is serving my fine Country, as part of an artillery brigade in Kandahar, Afghanistan. I couldn't help but think of the 97 Canadian soldiers that have died overseas. And I couldn't help but wish that Greg was back with us getting ready for another Sim season, but instead, he has selflessly decided it's a better option to help the cause for world freedom than his own.
I know us Canadians haven't taken the losses or the casualties that the United States military has over in Afghanistan and Iraq, but to all of our soldiers, on both sides of the border, I commend you and support you for all that you are doing to make this hellish place called earth, a safer place for us, our children, and our children's children.
And this hits home personally for us in the NsHL with Greg serving over there. Now we all may know other people as well, but for the NsHL community, one of our family is over there, and a former GM, Bruce Sprackman, served time there as well, when he left the league.
So Greg, here's to you buddy. And I hope all NsHL GM's will follow suit, and next time you crack open a bottle, a beer, a water, or a coke (pepsi), please do so in honour of our brother Greg. While we pester Nate about when this season is going to start, Greg's over there protecting our rights, and our freedoms. So thank you Greg.
Stay safe. Be strong. And remember that the NsHL family is right behind you every step of the way. Thank you Greg. We're thinking about you. We wish you well. And please let all soldiers over there know, whether they're Canadian, American, British, that you guys are doing a great job. Keep up the great work.
YOU ARE THE TRUE HEROES!!!!!
Take care my friend. And when you get back, Heatley wants to come back to Atlanta.
