🪖 Five young soldiers from CFB Petawawa walked more than 150 km through the cold to Ottawa’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Pte. Josh Kane Pte. Dominic Ferguson Pte. Nathan Thomas Pte. Logan Toupin Pte. Justin Toupin They did it for their brothers who never made it home from Wainwright and for the ones still fighting in hospital beds. They knew some of them. They trained with them. They refused to let them be forgotten. Sgt. Morgan Wong Pte. Shaun Farrell Pte. Aidan Goulding Pte. Hayden Lykkemark This is what real brotherhood looks like. 🇨🇦 Stand with them. Donate. Share. Remember. #CAF #SupportOurTroops

Visiting the 9/11 Memorial this summer with my daughter was incredibly impactful. She wasn’t alive on 9/11, and our visit made it more than something she had only read about Today, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed and all those who answered the call
