8 years ago today...September 11th, I still remember sitting in high school when it happened. Nobody quite new what would be the result of those 2 planes crashing into the towers but I definitely did not picture myself being part of the answer. The longer I stay in Afghanistan the longer I see how complex the situation is here. NATOs presence here is absolutely necessary and although it may not look like progress from the your side of the pond, we see progress perhaps slowly, but surely, everyday. To all those who died 8 years ago today and everyone who has paid the ultimate sacrifice in this noble cause you will never be forgotten.
Je me souviens...
On a lighter note, I would like to introduce you to a friend of mine. His name is Joe. Joe is technically 43 but really hasn't aged in years. Joe has become a tradition in the Royal Montreal Regiment Mens' Mess for sometime now. When members of the mess deploy overseas it is someone's reponsibility to bring Joe over with them. Joe was in desperate need of a new uniform, he was still wearing the old ones from the 60s so on OP Archer Roto 7, Joe was finally dressed in some modern clothes.
