A great job by the Canadian Forces and the soldiers past and present who served over there. Once again Canada proved that they had a professional Armed Forces that showed fierce determination, and outstanding diplomacy in a strange land.
With new schools and roads being built better fresh water supplies and a reduced Taliban presence in their sector, Canada is leaving their area of Afghanistan better then when they arrived.
With 157 casualties over 5 years while tragic showed how well our men and woman fought over there as those casualties could be considered to be light and could have been much worth.
This was a job well done, and we need to stand proud of our accomplishments, and I'm making it a point to shake the hand and thank all of the soldiers at Stampede this year.
