Please wear red today.

9 years ago

To all my Canadian KTers.

Please do not forget to wear red today as we pay our respects for RCMP Const. David Wynn, who will be laid to rest in St. Albert, AB today.

Const Wynn was fatally shot in the head last Saturday in the performance of his duties. The coward who shot him, fled the scene and was later found dead by suicide.

Const Wynn leaves a wife and three children.

Please honor him and all our men and women in service by wearing red, today.

I'm wearing red today, in respect for him, Prairie.
I'll be watching the news and maybe catch a glimpse of your eye-candy of a Premier! I think Jim Prentice is such a hunk.

Well, we may have a difference of opinion there, Jasdip. But, it is nice to know that not only will there be hundreds of police from across the country there, in addition to Premier Prentice, Prime Minister Harper will be in attendance as well, to pay his respects.

Too many of our young men in the RCMP and Canadian Forces have died on home soil this year at the hands of "idiots". I would like to call them what I really think, but I would be lowering myself to their level.

My heart goes out to the families, and I would like to say to them, "You gave all and all I can do in return is say Thank You. God Bless."

Always in red on Thursday you will find me. I have been hiding at a friends in east Texas all week, so I couldn't sign on until now.... If I am not wrong, I think that a lot of the chemo liquid is red....true? I know my sisters was, and that is why I wear it proudly for all the gals dealing with cancer and other issues. No matter what, red is my color for Thursdays for all the girls. Trin

In answer to the questions, wearing Red on Thursday was just something that Moni asked everyone here at the KT to do because so many were fighting Cancer. The color is not what is important really, just that on Thursday everyone here at the KT that chooses to, wears red as a reminder and a way of sending good wishes to those battling cancer...... Thank you all for remembering. I will tell you all that in August it will be 3 years since my lung cancer surgery and yesterday my Oncologist told me that there was no change from my previous MRI and that the MRI showed no sign of the disease..........Yes! and thanks for remembering to wear Red.

Sending those special thoughts to all those in law enforcement in Canada who keep all of you and those who travel there safe. Thank you! When we traveled there and we did a lot of that, my girls were always fascinated by their uniforms and we did take a tour of the academy (not sure if that was the right name), where they took their training, but sure impressed a 16 year old and a 13 year old. Good memories.

Awww Prairie_Rose, I think he's such a cutie. The other popular party is Wild Rose.....oh, is that who you like?

I'm always wanting to tease you about your moniker and ask if you're a cousin to Prairie Oyster. LOL

Watched the funeral on TV this afternoon. Such an emotional day.

My nephew is a chef at the RCMP training center in Regina, got married in the chapel on the grounds. The picture of Const. Wynn with the stained glass window of the Mountie was taken in that chapel.

Jasdip, I was a card carrying, bleed blue Torie for over 40 years. During "Queen Alllison's", reign, I burned my membership and joined the Wild Rose. Prentice has to prove himself to me before I can voted Torie again.

As for him being eye candy, all I can say is he's ok, I guess. I am more of a "Ralph" kind of gal. LOL

LOL P-R. Just so the other KT'ers don't get worried, we won't turn this into a fighting match at all!!!

I'm a Tory through and through, and I can understand your and everyone else's anger throughout Alberta because of Queen Redford.
I feel the same way about both of our Liberal Premiers (past and present).

Hmmmm I still like Prentice's look though! LOL

Now about your moniker..... ;-D
