Default Canadian soldier dies

This Carving was commissioned by the Uncle in memory of his nephew, a soldier who died in Afghanistan a while back. It's about 7' tall from white Oak.

Bruce, a beautiful tribute to one of our own Canadian boys that have no damn business there in the first place.

Great stuff. It'll be nice when all of our young men women are home, so there won't be a need for tributes anymore. You've made a beautiful homage to our troops and I'm sure the uncle will treasure it.You should be proud!

Beautiful tribute for a worthy cause.

I am proud of all who serve in the crap holes of the world to make us all more secure back home.
