This is a story deep in sadness a young 25 year old Trooper from Petawawa took his own life a few days ago. This young Cpl had served in Afghanistan but came home a depressed broken man. Although he was uninjured physically the mental strain of Afghanistan took its sad toll.
There a many young men returning from the horrors and carnage of Afghanistan that sorely need help.
In my time in the military, you were expected to return home from places like the Congo, Rwanda and Somalia with a cheery face and disposition.
Today a young soldier should feel no retribution if he needs a hand mentally or physically. We must treat the injured minds and pschycis as well as the amputees and physically wounded soldiers.
May his soul find peace with his God and his fellow soldiers who have moved on to the advance party. Richard Jankowski a Trooper from CFB Petawawa. Here is the link to this tragic story, may his Mother and loved ones find peace within.

Meanwhile on the second front in North Africa, our air and naval forces are keeping up their great work. They are all troops to be proud of Canada.
Please show support to our troops and their families.
