Today we bid farewell...


Family & friends have gathered in St-Cyrille-De-Wendover, Que to bid farewell to Cpl. Steve Martin. On Dec. 20th 2 days shy of his 25th birthday Cpl. Martin was killed by an IED while on a foot patrol near a road construction site in the Panjwaii District. 24 year old Martin, a dedicated soldier, was in his second tour of duty with time served in both Afghanistan and Haiti. On Dec. 22 Corporal Steve Martin returned to Canadian soil yesterday after being delayed 24 hours due to weather conditions. Martin was greeted as a true hero by more than a hundred Canadians who stood side by side in respectful silence as he was brought down Grenville St. in Toronto. Lise Charron has been in Que. with the Canadian Heroes car, visiting both the service and funeral for Cpl. Martin. My deepest condolences go to Cpl. Steve Martin friends and family, especially after this tragedy has occurred during the holiday season. Say a prayer today if you can, for a true Canadian Hero…rest in peace…
