The Engineer Prayer was created for 2 Field Engineer Regiment by Major Hugh Macdonald, the unit's Padre. It goes as follows:
Almighty God, we pray thee to bless the Canadian Military Engineers. May our bridges always stand, and our charges never fail, our members be ever loyal, and our officers worthy of their loyalty. May we work diligently in all our purposes and be skilled in our trades; steadfast for Queen and Country everywhere. Amen.
From the CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS OF THE CME

We pray for you everyday here in Canada.
This is great!
ReplyDeleteI got a laugh from hearing the soldier who ended his comments with "over.."
I'm so fortunate that my husband is not going over until after Christmas (Feb.)!
Thanks Ann :) I smiled when I heard that too.
ReplyDeleteYou know.. I'll be here (Here with a big heart and open arms.) for you when your husband goes over.
Ann.. send me an email

To Military Mom
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU !
Thank you so much for posting these clips! My little brother Mike is over there (3rd video - last soldier). This means so much to my parents and extended family...definitely brought tears and laughter - we are so grateful. Have a safe and wonderful Christmas... we will all continue to pray for the safe return of all our soldiers!
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Dana Gobbato
Thank you so much for posting the vdeos. My husband is currently serving with 1 RCR Charles company and even tho he isn't on any of the videos, its nice to see so many of our friends. Thanks again, can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! I am only on Video 4 so far, and I've seen a few of the people I know. It's so great to see them!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
Dana - You must be so proud of your brother! I'm here if you ever need to talk.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Elbee - you are truly welcome. I will keep my out for more of the greetings and will post asap! :) My best to your husband! How are you doing?
Anonymous - You are so very welcome! I'm so pleased that DND is doing this for families and soldiers. I'm honoured that you stopped by. Thank you for all you are doing! YOU are fantastic. Canada is proud of our heros! How are you doing? Temps are dropping :)
Thanks for the links! I've been watching for the step son, but nothing so far. He tends to be camera shy so I'm not holding a lot of hope.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing good, 3 months to go and he will finally be home for good. Time is slowly dragging on but thanks to support from friends and family and the other wives from 1 RCR I'm getting by. I'm so proud of all our men in uniform. I even gave our CDS Rick Hillier a kiss on the cheek tonight cuz he said he would pass it along to my husband when he sees them this month hehe. Wait til the hubby finds out =) CBC The National was great tonight, great stories of the wives and our support group. Thanks for the videos, they are great to see!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for this. Seeing my husband (2nd man on the 5th video) was the best Christmas present that I could have gotten. I watch it almost every day and it makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteThank you from the bottom of my heart!
You are sooo very welcome! :) I'm honoured to be able to help you.. It means so much when you can see them- what they look like so far away. I'm so happy I could help!
ReplyDeleteKeep strong - I'm here for you.
M.M.
Hey.."Bear" .. always keep hope. I keep watching for videos and will post as soon as I see something - :)
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Mrs. Elbee.. I'd love to be there when CDS Rick Hillier sees your husband :) It sounds like you have a great support group of friends and family. Perhaps I'll see you in 3 months time. :)
ReplyDeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteit's very nice to see video of soldiers sending their greetings and love to families and friends.
I was wondering, though, if you could tell me whether or not there were any Lord Strathcona's Horse Regiment (CFB Edmonton) on those videos? My email is cnoelle79@hotmail.com. Thanks so much!
Dear M.M.
ReplyDeleteWell my husband called Christmas Day, Hillier was with Charles Company out at their base and he actually gave him the kiss! I'm still surprised and my husband was really red. Can't wait for that photo!. Thanks for your site tho, I check up on it every few days to see what's new. If you're up for when the guys return, lemme know!
Have a great New Years!
