On Remembrance day we remember the sacrifice made by so many soldiers.  We have the freedom we have today because of so many of them.  I will be forever grateful for all of their courage.  

Today my students learned about a friend that I spent my childhood growing up with who was a dedicated soldier.  
Sadly, he was the last Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan on Oct. 29/2011.

Master Cpl. Byron Greff was a hard-working infantry soldier, qualified paratrooper and member of the battalion’s reconnaissance platoon. To say that he was highly respected by his fellow soldiers would be an understatement. "

Master Corporal Greff paid the ultimate price serving his country.  His life and death serves as an example of the bravery and outstanding dedication of Canadian Armed Forces members.
