Sgt. Craig Gillam, Cpl. Robert Mitchell, RCD - 03 Oct 2006

I've known Craig and Mitch for years.

Craig and I served in Gagetown at both the Armour School and A Sqn 8CH/ C Sqn RCD since the early 90s

Mitch came to A Sqn RCD in late 02. He was in my troop until we deployed to Bosnia and he was left behind.

Both excellent soldiers, kind and great to have around.

Thoughts and prayers to the families.

Bold and Swift
 
Many thanks and RIP.

Condolences to family and friends and may the injured recover soon.

Rest in peace , Gents.

RIP guys. :salute:

Craig was a good guy. Many new recruits benefited from his experience and knowledge when he taught BMQ's and SQ's at LFAA TC. You'll be missed.

The families are in my prayers.
 
Please don't tell me that Cpl. Mitchell has 3 little ones, a son named Cameron??  I recognize the picture, but I'm not quite sure if it's him....damn shitty regardless.

Rob you are and always will be my friend and I will never forget you.

~~A Prayer For A Soldiers Family~~
As the seconds turn into minutes
As the minutes turn into hours
As the hours turn into days
As the days turn into nights
As the nights turn into weeks
As weeks seem to have turned into months
Somewhere close, or somewhere in the far distance
There is a family waiting patiently for that soldiers
journey home.
It's never easy letting go of the ones you love
We send our brothers, sisters,sons, daughters, nieces,
nephews, mothers, fathers, grandsons, granddaughters,
cousins, neighbors, family and friends to place called
Iraq As they defend our country, even our backyards in
hopes that our nation will one day be a better place
for ALL.
As our tearfilled eyes begin to swell up, we find
ourselves
Waving them goodbye, with the bittersweet sadness in
our hearts, we pray for those soldiers safe returns to
our arms.
I know you're sad, I know you're feeling that life
isn't fair. I know whats it like to have someone out
there.
Don't cry for he is there with you in your heart.
Don't give up faith,
Don't give up hope,
Don't get lost within yourself.
Don't for one single second forget that a whole nation
is waiting for his return
Don't for one single second forget that we admire his
bravery, his courage, and his respect.
Don't for one single second forget that I am praying,
As well as millions of others.

They talk about what Canadians want , they say they ask Canadians and they say we should leave. The last time I checked Canadians are the ones serving over there. Rob believed in this mission as well as everyone else who has passed on, to leave now would only tarnish what they died for. A long time ago a politian was asked who was Canada's greastest amabasador , and his response was the soldiers who leave their homes and families to help those they don't even know and stand in harms way. They represent what makes this country so great.
 
... once again my sincerest condolences to the families and friends of the fallen -

a speedy recovery to any injured.
