Pte. Dean Lapointe

Just found out via a friend from college, Pte. Dean Lapointe - Grey & Simcoe Foresters was injured in the friendly fire incident not too far back.

I trained with Dean during our basic at Fort York, we were the only G&SF there

He is a good guy and a damn good soldier, lets all hope that his wounds will heal quickly and he can continue to soldier on!

This makes me wish I was still in, and over there with him.

Hey,

I am a friend of Dean's from Owen Sound. I just wanted to let you know that I have been speaking with his mother on a number of occasions and Dean is sorta healed up. He still has some discomfort from the shrapnel still in his arm.

He is in good spirits, and proud to be a soldier in Afghanistan, and a damn fine friend!

Here's to his safe return and I'm looking forward to tossing back a few beers with him in February.
