Red Friday ~ Support the Troops ~ Support the Families

http://redfridays.ca/


Don Cherry, at times controversial, but much loved by this particular blogger, pays a visit to the Canadian Forces memorial in Kandahar, Afghanistan, while there over Christmas.  Cherry is the former coach of the Boston Bruins who now host Hockey Night in Canada with Ron McLean; and gives an editorial during "Caoch's Corner".  Cherry never fails to pay tribute to Canada's fallen, and is a strong supporter of the troops and their efforts.

    I happen to love Don Cherry myself and it does not surprise me that this guy supports his country's troops, he's a good guy. Ans i love the suit coat! I can't tell if he has Desert cam trouser's on too but the jacket is awesome!

    This probably isn't the place to post this but if anyone hasn't had a chance to get to France and see the Canadian Memorial at Vimy Ridge...It is incredible. The Canadians know sacrifice, that's for sure. I'm one ugly American who appreciates our brother's and sister's up north!

    I have to say, I've never been a fan of Cherry. I find him crass, loud, obnoxious. But I do know what he does for the morale of troops (my first, best example is a picture that sticks to my neighbours fridge: a photo of her spouse and Cherry at the airport - he stopped by to say goodbye to some deploying troops), so I generally just do my best to ignore him.
