Plus tard aujourd'hui dans CFB Trenton l'avion militaire terne de couleur apparatra sur l'approche. Le chargement prcieux de deux coffrets draps recevra des honneurs militaires complets sur l'arrive. Alors les familles de chagrin rejoindront le convoi triste comme il voyage de nouveau en bas la Route nationale de Hros.

MONTREAL - The family of a soldier killed in Afghanistan has paid tribute to the man in a statement that lauds his devotion to Canada's military. Lest we forget.....these engineers will live forever in our hearts. God speed and complete and Rapid healing to their 5 wounded comrades.

Cpl. Jean-Francois Drouin's family says he was a veteran soldier who relished his leadership role.The family says he became a soldier by choice and believed in the mission.

Despite the terrible news that has afflicted us with the death of Jean-Francois, he achieved the challenge he set for himself, the statement said.

Jean-Francois had an ardent desire to help others and he believed in his mission in Afghanistan. . . In our eyes, you were an experienced soldier of exemplary leadership and devotion to your regiment.

The family recalled that Drouin's friends called him Bid Drou - or Big Chest - because of the physique he'd developed after working hard in the gym.

Jean-Francois, we'll miss you tremendously and your absence will create a large emptiness in our lives. We are proud of the man you were and you will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace. Go, go, go Jeff!

The family asked for privacy while it mourns.
