Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Living day to day in a personal sacrifice
On a mission to defend.
You are the hero whose face we may never get to see
But the pride and glory that's lives in a soldier heart
Bears one word
"Integrity"
On this day
We give thanks and honour to those brave and true
Our flags, we will proudly wave
The Red and White
We will give our thanks not only to our God
but also to every soldier for our bounties, that be.
For they give meaning to words
Home of the True north strong and Free.
To the soldiers in the mess hall
Eating their Thanksgiving feast,
to the troops in the desert eating
their next rationed meal.
May peace, hope and strength
Travel with you along the way
And may these wishes find you
On A Soldiers Thanksgiving day.

I googled "send care packages to Canadian soldiers" and your post from 2009 came up.
My daughters and I (ages 4.5, 2.5 and 7 months) have set aside most of their Halloween Candy to send overseas. Now I am at a loss because I have been googling like crazy but cannot find anywhere to send it to!
Could you help me out? I can be contacted here
