Friday I start to phase out of the rcmp after 34 years + memories. From NF, NS, BC, NT, and back. Amazing people in the HRD + HRP. My last day in Blue Serge - dismantling the insignia feels awkward! Thanks to former and current serving who give of themselves. Masi Cho.

On this day in 2006, four Canadian soldiers were killed during a ground operation in Afghanistan. They were Pte William Cushley, WO Frank Mellish, WO Richard Nolan and Sgt Shane Stachnik.
Each of them leaves behind a legacy of courage and honour.

Brian Pinksen knew from an early age that he wanted to be in the military.
While serving in Afghanistan, he was wounded by an explosion. He died on this day in 2010, at a hospital in Landstuhl, Germany.
Today and always, we remember his sacrifice.

Erin Doyle: a “friendly giant” who made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan, 16 years ago today.
On August 11, 2008, Master Corporal Doyle was killed in a Taliban attack on a Canadian outpost in Kandahar Province.
He was survived by his wife and daughter.

The attack on #VimyRidge began at 5:30 a.m. on April 9, 1917, and lasted for four days.
Approximately 100,000 Canadians took part in this assault, braving difficult conditions and fierce enemy fire.

1/ Afghanistan is forever etched into the collective psyche of those who served there, and has left none untouched, with many, including families, scarred physically, mentally, and morally. Our feelings and beliefs about the mission are deeply personal.
