Something similar happened in the Petawawa Post for a Remembrance Day tribute to [b]local[b] soldiers. They dropped my husband's rank down to Cpl - he was a Sgt and had Cpl Matthew Dinning as Andrew Dinning. After several complaints by other people they corrected my husband's info in the online...

The same thing happens to me on the army.ca home page but if I open the topic, it appears normally.  And I just tried changing the encoding and it didn't work for me either.

simysmom99, I can't even imagine what you are going through. I can only guess that you want "your" life back. All I want is to be normal again. Not the widow. Just like I'm sure you want to be the wife - not the wife of an injured soldier and the publicity that comes with it. I'm can only guess...

Maybe if we make youth "prisons" a place of punishment, then we just might not see them reoffending again as adults - committing much more violent crimes. Who the hell thought up a reward system for criminals? Wouldn't you want to reoffend just to get back into someplace with all the luxuries...

RIP Trooper  :salute: Speedy recovery to the injured.

RIP soldiers  :salute: Deepest condolances to the families.

Congratulations! Enjoy him every day. And thank your wife for all her hard work!  :)

It is my understanding, though I may be wrong, that the member must have served 10? years for the dependents to receive dental benefits. I receive drug and dental coverage through my husband's pension. However, one of our widows does not qualify for dental coverage. She receives drug coverage...

The military is an extension of my own family. And my husband's unit treated me as a member of their family - and still does. They do the best they can to try to ease the pain. They provide you with an Assisting Officer to help you plan the funeral, make travel arrangements for family members...

Gen. Hillier offered me anything I needed. However, I don't think he'll go for the time machine so I can go back to the day my husband left and "help" him fall down the stairs. I am completely satisfied with the send off that my husband received. It was very much befitting who he was as a person...

RIP soldier  :salute:

RIP Mcpl :salute: Deepest condolances to his family and friends.

Thank you Bruce. I am humbled by the support that I have received from friends, soldiers and total strangers. The only thing I could ask for is my husband back. Not going to happen but respect for his decision to serve and sacrifice is close enough. Thank you all. Charmaine

No prob. Glad to help out.

The guy that called me from The Center today said that most families were quite satisfied with the financial support received from the military and that most were upset at today's turn of events. I, for one, would not want anyone to assume that I am not satisfied with the treatment that my...

When my husband was killed, my AO told me what expenses were covered and which were not. It was my choice to add and/or upgrade certain things. I was clearly informed that I would be responsible for those expenses incurred outside the military's budget. I chose to give my husband a military...

+1. I agree totally. :threat:

The 1st thing hubby said to me when the incident with the WO happened was that the PPE does work! You could hear the relief in his voice. He was confident that the equipment was worthy. I'm actually glad that he didn't worry about the vest. As soon as the attack happened, he grabbed his kit and...

On a side note, no kit is 100% fool-proof. My husband was wearing his Tac vest but it didn't save him. Sometimes it's all in the angle that the rounds/shrapnel come in. He said that he should be the most protected in his section b/c he was the smallest, hence the plates would cover more of his...

Twice we have taken this area. Too much life has been lost in Panjwaii. When will we take it and finally keep it? Get em boys. And this time, lets keep it.
