Over a year ago now, my husband served served in a tour of duty in Afghanistan and although our life as a military family is now behind us - our men and women in uniform will always hold a special place in my heart. During his time overseas, a photograph was captured of him and his warrant on patrol and since that date, it has appeared in newspapers across the country, from the Edmonton Journal to the Montreal Gazette; however, despite endless searching, I was unable to get a print copy of it. A month ago, friends in British Columbia recognizing the picture, mailed us the article you see below. I cannot even say how proud I am of my husband for his service and of our Canadian forces for the difference they have made in Afghanistan - thank-you.

"Victory is the preservation of hope. And that is perhaps where Canada has been the most successful of all." (Excerpt from article)
