Words fail...
RIP troops and condolences to the friends & family of the fallen just doesn't seem like enough.
Neither does thank you for your sacrifice.
But it will not be forgotten.

My mind and emotions are racing at warp speed over our latest deaths in A'stan.

I really feel for the families and no words will make these deaths any easier.

'We were the soldiers,
short days ago.
Who lived,felt dawn,saw sunset glow."

Rest well my soldiers,
people sleep peacefully in their beds because of your sacrifice.

 

[Lance Wiebe]

Damn it all.

Terrible news, my sincere condolences to their families, friends and loved ones.

RIP, soldiers.  You'll not be forgotten.

OTTAWA – The names of four of the six Canadian soldiers killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan on July 4, 2007 are as follows:

Captain Matthew Johnathan Dawe, 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, based in Edmonton, Alta.;

Master Corporal Colin Bason, a reservist from The Royal Westminster Regiment based in New Westminster, B.C.;

Corporal Cole Bartsch, 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, based in Edmonton, Alta.; and

Private Lane Watkins, 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, based in Edmonton, Alta.

At the request of the family, the names of the remaining two soldiers killed, are being withheld temporarily.

The soldiers were killed when their RG-31 vehicle struck a suspected improvised explosive device approximately 20 km southwest of Kandahar City. An Afghan interpreter was also killed in the blast. The incident occurred while the soldiers were returning from conducting joint patrol operations with the Afghan National Army.

Oh man.... I did BOTC with Matt Dawe. I haven't talked to him in a few years but he was a hell of a good guy. My thoughts are with his family.
