OTTAWA, July 22 /CNW Telbec/ - "My husband Jean-Daniel Lafond and I were
very saddened to learn today in Italy about the incident near Kandahar,
Afghanistan that cost the lives of Corporal Francisco Gomez and Corporal Jason
Patrick Warren and that also injured eight other Canadian military personnel.
The increasing toll of our brave soldiers killed or injured while
conducting reconstruction operations in Afghanistan, on behalf of Canada and
in solidarity with a civilian population that has suffered such hardships,
serves as a painful illustration of the tense predicament in which this
country finds itself.
With each new incident, we are getting a sense of the sacrifice and
efforts needed to restore peace and justice to this part of the world. We lack
the words to properly recognize the immense determination and selflessness of
the members of the Canadian Forces who day in and day out carry out their
noble mission to ensure the safety and improve the living conditions of the
Afghan people.
Corporal Gomez and Corporal Warren served their country admirably. From
the bottom of our hearts and with the utmost respect, we wish to express our
deepest sympathies to their families, friends, loved ones and comrades, and to
assure them that all Canadians stand with them during these very trying
times."

“On behalf of Canadians, I extend my deepest condolences to the families and friends of Corporal Gomez and Corporal Warren, who lost their lives today as a result of a suicide vehicle attack in Afghanistan.

Every single time I read about our boys being hit over there, and every time one passes away, it burns me to the core! Makes me want to go over there and... Do things not appropriate to post in this thread or on this site for that matter!
RIP to you two fine gentlemen and some of the very best Canadians!
I wish those who survived the best of recoveries possible - You did you're part! BE PROUD!!!!

I can appreciate your anger over the situation, but flying off the handle doesn't help the situation. I know I sure as h*@# wouldn't want someone standing next to me who thinks like you over there when something like that happens. Your methods of operation are a fine way to end up dead and having others around you killed. Take a deep breath, calm down, and take stock of yourself. Calm heads prevail.
RIP Cpl's Gomez & Warren, your country will not forget your sacrifice.
