I remember Ryan from when I was with 2 RCR....

Yes, was in Eritrea and Haiti with Ryan. Sad to hear that news.
RIP fellows.

I think this is a bit of a bold choice and I congratulate the selection committee for making this selection. Ms Anderson has been dealing with an extraordinarily difficult situation and is worthy of this acknowledgement and our respect.

Ryan was in my platoon when I was a rifle platoon commander in 2 RCR. Solid soldier and he made quite an impression on me: he was quite the professional.

Always chatted with him when I saw him out and about in Oromocto. His dad passed a while back, too, if I recall.


May they rest in peace. Pro Patria

Saw the interview with her on CTV News last night. Very touching.

Our Nation owes her a debt that I am not sure we can repay.

I was on that Roto, and despite not remembering if I'd met either of them, this hits a bit harder this year.
