Take a moment please...

Thanks Guys for the comments on the Ottawa Madness thread. This will be the last comment I make about this tragedy....

For those of you who don't know here is what Canada's National war Monument looks like:

And here is one of the most poignant comments without words that I have ever seen:

Ottawa Madness.jpg (61.7 KiB) Not viewed yet

Here is a brief description of the illustration:

His cartoon for Oct. 23 shows the bronze statues from the National War Memorial in Ottawa leaning down to comfort Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was shot and killed while standing guard at the memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Wednesday morning.

MacKinnon said he was working on other cartoons Wednesday morning when "all hell" started breaking loose in Ottawa and his other ideas "became quite trivial by comparison."
He did several sketches and showed his editors, and everyone agreed on the one that eventually ran — of a First World War soldier leaning over Cirillo's body. Only the young soldier's feet — with red and white Argyll and Sutherland Highland socks — are visible.

RIP Nathan..
