Another soldier killed


Sad news from Afghanistan. It may be the holidays here but the war continues.


Canadian soldier killed, 3 wounded in roadside bomb in Afghanistan



KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - He was an avid golfer who loved nothing better than hitting a bucket of balls into the barren flatlands of Zhari district from a makeshift driving range at the Canadian outpost where he was stationed.


Afghan children would eagerly retrieve the golf balls he had driven deep into the dusty plains in exchange for candy.


But soldiers at Kandahar Airfield mostly remember Pvt. Michael Freeman's broad smile and staunch belief in Canada's military mission in Afghanistan.
