رحمة الله عليك   LCdr Dabbag.

When I was in school still, I wrote a paper on religious freedom that used you as an ideal to live up to in society, the world is a little sadder without you

RIP LCdr Dabbag.

I met her once, and I'm sure that others who have also, would note that her being the first CF member to wear a hijab was the last thing you would remember after meeting her.  She had an infectious energy and motivation that influenced all those around her.

You forgot to add persistent enthusiasm and unbridaled pride in being a member of the profession of arms in Canada.

She will be missed.
