Taliban cowardly attack Canadian Civilian Soldier


















"He died helping Afghans build a better future for themselves and their children. His dedication and sacrifice will not be forgotten."-Brig,-Gen. Guy Laroche, the commander of Canadian troops in Afghanistan.

I found this fitting song composed by MacPhee, Schram, Howe in my files simply entitled "Ode To The Canadian Soldier "and uploaded to imeem. Please give a listen. The lyrics pay tribute to the men and women who are "Fighting for freedom and staying the course.

Taliban militants unleashing an ambush that killed a Canadian medic on a goodwill patrol in a hotly contested district west of Kandahar. Cpl. Michael Starker, of the 15th Field Ambulance Regiment, was pronounced dead in a military hospital after his Civil-Military Co-operation team (CIMIC) patrol came under fire in the Pashmul region of Zhari district, about 25 kilometres outside the city. A second, unidentified soldier was wounded. He is reported to be in stable condition, and well enough to be able to call his family at home.

Starker was born and raised in Calgary, where he worked as a paramedic for three years. The death brings Canada's toll in Afghanistan to 83 soldiers and one diplomat since the mission began in early 2002.
