Sapper Sean David Greenfield, 25, was killed when the armoured vehicle he was riding in struck an improvised explosive device in the Zhari district, west of Kandahar city.

Such a sad, sad loss. The article struck a cord with me when I read they were based out of Petawawa. That's where we camped the first year we went to Canada to see Speed and family.

My heart goes out to the family of this fallen soldier and his fellow soldiers who were also injured. No doubt they will have more than physical injuries to recover from after this. It's heartbreaking.

This is so sad. Prayers for the families of the soldier killed as well as the other soldiers injured and their families.
