Allan Stewart and Trooper Patrick Pentland, but one served as a particularly poignant reminder of both the bond shared by soldiers and the perils of war: the one that came from a hospital stretcher.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20070415/stretcher_salute_070415/20070415?hub=Canada">Cpl.
