Canadian Quilters united, to provide comfort through our quilts to those wounded in the tragedy at CFB Wainwright. We recognize that injuries, both visible and invisible may affect individuals for years to come. This is my contribution #wainwright #Canada #QuiltsOfValour

They just tried to interview Dustin Byfuglien in between whistles here but a standing ovation made that not possible. Super cool moment.

Dustin Byfuglien held court with media for 10 minutes just now and didn’t disappoint.
On why he stayed with #NHLJets so long?
“Well, all my stuff was here.”
He got very emotional at times, too. This alumni homecoming means a lot.
Story coming for @WinnipegNews

Today we remember Corporal Nathan Cirillo, who was killed in a terrorist attack while on guard duty at Canada’s National War Memorial in Ottawa on October 22, 2014.
Our thoughts remain with him, his family, and all who knew and loved him. 🕊️❤️🇨🇦

Natalia left her beauty salon and joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine🇺🇦🫡
When Russia launched its full-scale invasion, Natalia Depa closed her successful beauty salon and volunteered for the Ukrainian Armed Forces alongside her father and brother.
On the front, she treated and evacuated the wounded in Kharkiv, Sumy and Donetsk regions, including Bakhmut, Chasiv Yar and Kostiantynivka🇺🇦
Natalia served in 125th brigade,then in 218th Separate Battalion. She ran a medical aid station, rescuing and evacuating even the most critically wounded, while offering them support and courage.
She used to tell the severely wounded soldiers:
"You mustn't ruin my statistics. I’ve brought in every single casualty, and I’ll bring you in too—just stay alive."
This servicewoman was killed on July 9, 2023 while carrying out a combat mission on the Bakhmut direction.
This beautiful woman was only 30 years old💔
Natalia was awarded the Order of Valour - posthumously
Rest in peace,heroine🫡🇺🇦🙏
