My older brother did two tours in Afghanistan and is among the 2000 that was injured, when he was involved in the friendly-fire incident in the early 2000's when the American fighter jet strafed the Canadian soldiers. It was a close friend of his who died. I will never forget those times, but hope some day he will be able to.
I'm thankful for his service as well as the thousands of other Canadians who served.
