Ric-A-Dam-Doo
Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
The Ric-A-Dam-Doo is the regimental flag of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. But it is much more than that to the fine soldiers that serve her. It is a symbol of pride, honor and courage. Most have heard of the US Navy Seals or Britain's SAS, but few know anything about Canada's elite Special Forces team: the Snow Devils. Retired Snow Devils, PB and Janet Reese, are enjoying a winter getaway in sunny Arizona when the daughter of a friend is kidnapped and smuggled into Mexico by a ruthless gang. Hiding behind the International Border and several levels of corruption, the kidnappers are beyond the reach of the State Police and FBI. Crossing that line is not a problem for the Reeses. The husband and wife duo are prepared to go places and do things that law enforcement just cannot in order to rescue the teen before she disappears forever. Once a Snow Devil, always a Snow Devil.

Snow Devil's Marching Song
The Ric-A-Dam-Doo marching song of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry has been sung by many, including the Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. This version comes directly from the Snow Devils (a mythical Special Forces Squad made up of PPCLI). It speaks volumes about how they feel about themselves, their mission and each other.
Tournabout is fair play.
