We Remember...

Tooper Brian Good sacrificed his life, January 7, 2009 in Afghanistan, age 42.

I worked with Brian, (a number of years ago) at Erb Transport. Although we hadn't kept in touch, I immediately recognized his face on the evening news reporting his death. Thank you Brian, for your contribution to our freedom.


Warrant Officer Dennis Brown sacrificed his life March 3, 2009 in Afghanistan, age 38.

Dennis was in the same unit as my cousin's son, AJ. Seeing photos of a family member standing at attention as his comrade in arms drove by in a flag covered coffin brought the sacrifice to a whole new level.


They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.


Private Andrew James Langendoen (my cousin's son) currently serving in the reserves.

AJ is currently attending Niagara College working on his International Business diploma. He has thoughts of attending university afterward. He also may apply for a tour of duty when he graduates or possibly go on to Officer’s Training. THANK YOU AJ (and family) for your willingness to serve wherever, however and whenever God sees fit.
