Two Canadian soldiers killed in helicopter crash

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. Cpl. Martin Joannette, left, and Master Cpl. Patrice Audet, right Master Cpl. Patrice Audet served with the 430 Tactical Helicopter Squadron based in Valcartier, Que. Cpl. Martin Joannette was with the 3e Bataillon, Royal 22e Regiment, also based in Val Cartier, Que. Two Canadian soldiers have died in a Griffon helicopter crash in Afghanistan, along with another coalition soldier. Three other Canadians were injured. The killed Canadians have been identified as Master Cpl. Pat Audet, 38, and Cpl. Martin Joannette, 25. Both were based in Valcartier, Que. Audet served with the 430 Tactical Helicopter Squadron, and Joannette was with the 3e Bataillon, Royal 22e Regiment. Two of the injured soldiers were able to return to duty, while the third was listed in stable condition. Insurgents were not involved in the incident, suggesting the helicopter may have suffered from mechanical failure possibly caused by a dust storm. Audet was on his first deployment to Afghanistan. Joanette, although younger, was on his third deployment. "Their contribution here in Afghanistan was incredible, and we will remember their sacrifice always,"-Canadian commander Brig.-Gen. Jonathan Vance. Canada lost four soldiers in as many days. Cpl. Nicholas Bulger died from an IED explosion on July 3, and Master Cpl. Charles-Philippe Michaud died the next day, succumbing to injuries he had suffered in a bomb blast the previous month. The latest casualties bring Canada's military death toll in Afghanistan to 124 since the mission began in 2002. Peace,
