Maybe 2 PPCLI will be noticed in a year from now when they send out about 600 ppl to Afghanistan. CBC National hadn't included it either on their "Road Stories" The losses from any base hit everyone in the military across the board. Even if 2 VP is not talked about as often we still feel...

The following is a letter written from my husband once he left his FOB for good and was in KAF before coming home at the end of his tour (Jan-Aug/06) I think the email says it all. I AM PROUD OF HIM AND EVERY SOLDIER!!!! looks like living in the sticks has it drawbacks lol. Is that mean that...

I was told medical was the hardest part about applying. I asked questions as I had medical issues that if I was wasn't qualified then why apply.

Proud of My Canadian Soldier The father and husband that he is, asked me if he could go. The soldier who knew where he belonged would do so. I asked him once "please don't go, we need you more." The look in his eyes shamed me to the core. My Canadian soldier knew where his duty lay. I hide my...
