A soldier looks at the holy cross as he arrives to celebrate Easter at Camp Eggers in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Sunday. 'You're living on the edge of life and death, and you've got to ask some hard questions,' said American padre Rev. Jim Connolly after Easter service. Sunday's services capped a difficult three weeks for Canadian forces in Kandahar province where three Canadian soldiers lost their lives in three separate incidents. Here at home, Governor General Michaëlle Jean will present the Medal for Military Valour to Cpl. Dave Gionet of Lameque Island and Pte. Shane Aaron Bradley Dolmovic of Cottlesville, N.L., for saving the life of a fellow soldier in Nalgham, Afghanistan, last year. See page A3 for the related stories.
