OTTAWA, ONTARIO, Jun 14 (MARKET WIRE) --
My husband, Jean-Daniel Lafond, and I were deeply saddened to learn of
the death of Corporal Martin Dube, who died as a result of the detonation
of an improvised explosive device, 20 km of Kandahar City. Corporal Dube
was a member of 5e Regiment de genie de combat, based at Canadian Forces
Base Valcartier
With a deep sense of duty and unfailing commitment, he risked his/her
life to defend the values we hold dear. With determination and
selflessness, he spared no effort to ensure the safety of the Afghan
population who, legitimately and more than anything else, aspires to
security, justice and equality. His daily dedication in this dangerous
assignment deserves our unconditional admiration.
We join all Canadians in offering our sincerest condolences to his
grieving family, fellow members of the Canadian Forces, and all those who
loved him. It is our hope that your memories of him and the time you
spent together comfort you in your grief. May the memory of his inner
strength help you rely on your own.
