Canadian soldier killed by roadside bomb 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.

"Good's sacrifice will not be forgotten"..."He was active in his community and the best neighbour you could ask for"



Trooper Brian Richard Good was a member of the Royal Canadian Dragoons stationed at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa.

A Canadian soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in the northern part of Afghanistan's Kandahar province early Wednesday, say military officials.

The soldier died when an improvised explosive device detonated near the armoured vehicle in which he was travelling. Three other soldiers were injured in the incident in the Shah Wali Kowt district, about 35 kilometres north of the city of Kandahar.

Trooper Brian Richard Good, 42, was a member of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, serving with the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment and stationed at the eastern Ontario Canadian Forces Base Petawawa.

The three injured soldiers, all members of the same unit, were taken by helicopter to Kandahar Airfield and are reported to be in good condition, military officials said.

Good's death is the first of 2009 of a Canadian soldier and brings the Canadian military's death toll in Afghanistan to 107 since the mission began seven years ago. One Canadian diplomat and two Canadian aid workers have also been killed.

Peace.
