On Easter weekend Private Kevin Kennedy and 5 other young men were killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan, Kevin was from St. Lawrence, Newfoundland, the community next to ours. I drove through St. Lawrence a couple of days ago, there is such an air of sorrow, it's like that in a small community though, tragedy is felt by everyone.
I didn't know Kevin, he was only 20 years old, there's an online memorial, yellow ribbons and flags, Canadian and Newfoundland are proudly displayed not only in St. Lawrence but here as well, the two communities are intertwined in many ways.
Thank you Kevin, thank you to all of those trying to make the world a better place.
