Canadian Troops Gone To Fiddlers Green
WHITBY -- Jeff Hill, in his wheelchair, was just about the first one to pick a spot on Whitby’s Brock Street overpass on Saturday evening, to be there when the troops killed recently in Afghanistan made their way to Toronto.
That was at 6:30 pm, At 8:30 pm, he and about 300 others were still waiting for the cars to pass underneath them, but they weren’t thinking of leaving, even if the familiar cavalcade of vehicles was now well overdue on its trip from 8Wing/CFB Trenton with the bodies of the soldiers flown in from Kandahar.
“I’m stayin’,” the Whitby resident said, the skies now black and a chilly breeze picking up. “I came here to show my support for them and their families as well as our Canadian troops and I’m going to do that no matter how long it takes.”
