Maybe you RIP and may your family find peace! Your watch has ended but for us still in it goes on!  :salute: :cdn:
 
I was fortunate enough to personally know 'T-Bone', we both belonged to the same regiment and went through the same BMQ and were section mates.  I'll be remembering his great sense of humour, how out-spoken he was and his sense of esprit de corp. 

RIP buddy

Statement by the Minister of National Defence on the passing of Corporal Anthony Joseph Boneca
July 9, 2006

Ottawa, Ontario

The Honourable Gordon O'Connor, Minister of National Defence, issued the following statement today on the passing of Corporal Anthony Joseph Boneca.

"It is with deepest sorrow that I learned of the death of Corporal Anthony Joseph Boneca, who was killed during operations this morning in Afghanistan at approximately 8:30 a.m. local time. Corporal Boneca was a member of the Lake Superior Scottish Regiment, based in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

My sincere condolences go out to the family and friends of this brave soldier, who died in the name of democracy, protecting the freedoms we cherish so strongly as Canadians.

Canada will mourn the loss of Corporal Boneca but he will not be forgotten. His memory will live on through the people whose lives he has touched, while fulfilling our mission to bring peace and security to Afghanistan.

There are risks involved in this operation, but our members are among the best trained, and most experienced soldiers in the world. They are fully prepared for the mission in Afghanistan. Corporal Boneca's courage in the face of danger demonstrates the tenacity and strength of all our CF members and it is with pride that I say he represents the best of Canada--an inspiration to his countrymen.

I stand in honour of his sacrifice and my thoughts and prayers are with him."
 
RIP, two tours is more than most will ever do. You have done your unit, family, friends, Reserves and country proud. November 11th is going to have new meaning to this generation.  :salute:  :(
 
RIP Soldier,

At the going down of the sun
and in the morn

We will remember them!

CHIMO!
 
My sincerest condolences to the family, friends and fellow soldiers of Corporal Boneca.  From the few posts already on the site, my sense is that Corporal Boneca was dedicated soldier and a man that could be relied upon by his fellow soldiers. RIP.
