In the line of duty: Canada's casualties in Afghanistan.

Instead of posting each one I'll just post the link...........
http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/af...rby=First_name

Out of respect for these brave men, their families and Sarge I will refrain from posting comments pertaining to the reason for their death even though I have a strong desire to do so. I would hate to see this thread turn into a Pooch...............

Very tastefully done Sarge.

Guess I'm the only one who finds it harder to view a pic of a guy (with his kid) who's dead than a bunch of numbers.

Keep it up.

Lance Cpl. Aaron Austin
USMC



Lance Cpl. Aaron Austin died in Fallujah repelling an attack. For his actions, he was awarded the Silver Star posthumously, the award will go to his parents.

On the last night of his life, Lance Cpl. Aaron Austin joined a prayer session with other Marines hunkered down in a bullet-riddled neighborhood in Fallouja, Iraq. Austin, a 21-year-old machine-gunner, asked God for protection not for himself but for his fellow Marines of Echo Company of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Regiment, 1st Marine Division, based at Camp Pendleton.

The next morning, insurgents attacked from three directions, firing thousands of rounds from AK-47s and other firearms and hurling dozens of grenades. With the Marines in danger of being overrun, Austin exposed himself to enemy fire in order to throw a grenade at their position 20 meters away. The grenade helped repel the attack, but Austin was mortally wounded.

The Marines were searching buildings in the war-torn Jolan neighborhood when they came under attack in one of the bloodiest clashes between the U.S. military and insurgents that spring.

Austin helped evacuate the wounded and led other Marines onto a roof to operate a machine gun. When the insurgents kept advancing, he took a grenade from his vest and moved into the open for a better throwing position.

"Several enemy bullets struck Lance Cpl. Austin in the chest," said the official Marine Corps account. "Undaunted by his injury and with heroic effort, he threw his hand grenade at the enemy on the adjacent rooftop."

The grenade hit the bull's-eye and forced the insurgents to halt their attack.

When the battle was over, Marines erected a makeshift memorial to Austin in one of the buildings they had fought to defend.

Thank you Sarge for this thread!

I find it very hard to read about these wonderful heroes. It makes me so proud of each and every one of them!

It makes me feel so mad and so helpless at the state of affairs causing this thread to even exist.

If you post about them.... I will cry and pray for each and every one of them that I read!

And I do intend to read each and every one that is posted!

excellent thread, sarge......no matter who it is in uniform, no matter what they do, I always salute them and have taught my son to say thank you; be it an EMT or a SEAL, they are all protecting my family and our freedom.

As I said before, I regard you yourself as a hero, for you have put your life on the line to protect my family; to me, that's a hero.

So here's to you, Sarge, and again, from my family, thank you.

I changed my mind and will try and post them ALL individually. It's going to take some time but it won't be anything near what they sacrificed.
