Today we remember and honour Corporal Martin Dubé, who was killed seventeen years ago today while proudly serving our country in Afghanistan.

On June 14th, 2009, Corporal Joseph Robert Martin Dubé, aged 35, a combat engineer from 5e Régiment de Génie de combat (5 Combat Engineer Regiment), based at CFB Valcartier, Québec, was killed by an improvised explosive device while conducting a dismounted security operation in the Panjwai district, around 20 kilometres southwest of Kandahar City.

Corporal Martin Dubé, a bomb disposal technician, was responding to a call to neutralise two improvised explosive devices which were found hidden in a culvert, and was killed when one of the bombs he was defusing detonated. An Afghan police officer was also killed in the explosion, and a local interpreter was severely injured. The interpreter was evacuated by helicopter to the multi-national medical facility at Kandahar Airfield for treatment. The blast went off at about 12:30 p.m. AFT.

Corporal Martin Dubé was a member of Joint Task Force Headquarters, and was serving his first tour of duty in Afghanistan.

Brigadier-General Jonathan Vance, commander of Canadian troops in Afghanistan, held a news conference in Kandahar to discuss the death of Cpl. Martin Dubé.

Vance said Dubé had saved many lives with his work, "for that he should be remembered and celebrated."

"The bomb Dubé was dismantling could have killed an entire family as it was deliberately aimed at passing traffic," Vance said.

"His actions, his sacrifice, saved the lives of innocents. This is the proudest and most noble accomplishment of any soldier and today that accomplishment was Martin's."

Dubé was an "energetic" soldier who believed in the mission and "would never let himself get down when things got rough," Vance said.

"He was a skilled perfectionist who took the time to better himself, not only as a human being but also as a soldier. He was a professional, always willing to help anyone in need."

Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued the following statement on the death of Corporal Martin Dubé.

"We are eternally grateful for his sacrifice for this country, while helping to ensure a brighter future for the Afghan people. We are all saddened by this loss."

Corporal Martin Dubé joined the 5th Combat Engineers Regiment in April 2003. His first mission to Afghanistan was in March 2009 where he served as a bomb disposal technician. On June 14th, while on Operation Athena Roto 7 in the Panjwai district about 20 kms south of Kandahar, he responded to a call to neutralize two IEDs when one of them exploded, killing him and an Afghan police officer, while wounding one other Afghan national.

"In his desire to make a difference, he gave his life suddenly, without warning," Padre Bastien Leclerc told his comrades assembled at the Ramp Ceremony. "We will all miss his infectious smile, his determination, and his will to make this part of the world a better place to live."

Raised in the Québec City area, the 35-year-old soldier is remembered as a likable soldier with a special ability to lift the spirits of those around him. “Cpl. Dubé had a personal mission: live life to the fullest and make everyone he met laugh," said Padre Bastien Leclerc, Task Force Kandahar's senior chaplain, "He lifted the morale of everyone around him, including his superiors. His enthusiasm and energy was contagious."

Dubé was a talented combat engineer, proud of his profession, and whose work saved many lives. Dubé went to Afghanistan with a sincere desire to help others. He will be remembered as an energetic soldier with an infectious smile.

Dube's family praised his commitment to the Afghan mission. "He always strived to help others and that can explain why he firmly believed he was making a difference with the Afghan people alongside his fellow soldiers."

"We can't help but support and admire such altruism. There is no greater sadness for parents than to lose a child. Martin was an upright, curious and intelligent person who liked to get to the bottom of things," the family said, noting he was very close to his younger brother.

"Your departure leaves a great void.
Go, son, you can rest in peace now".

Joseph Robert Martin Dubé is survived by his parents Marie-Paule and Roger, brother Vincent and girlfriend Julie.

Even from the earliest age, Martin was a protector and defender for what he believed in. In elementary school, when Martin saw a student being swarmed on the playground, he stepped in and took on the bullies to protect the student. But Martin was more about the intellect. When asked, he provided honest advice, even if his opinion was not popular, and he mediated disputes, offering a list of pros and cons to help resolve issues.

Martin had a desire to understand at the deepest level. He valued his solitude and reading was among his top passions. Many of his books held personal bookmarks that listed questions he still wanted answers to or topics he wanted to research. He was also big into video games, playing warfare games for hours to stimulate his mental development and to challenge himself intellectually.

When Martin joined the army, he continued to strive to improve his knowledge so he would be both a better soldier and better at his job.

Martin was skilled at martial arts and in excellent physical condition.

After high school, Martin undertook many activities, but nothing seemed to hold his interest or challenge him intellectually for any length of time. Then he joined the forces in order to make a difference. He believed in his mission and carried it out with pride.

Those in command viewed Martin as a professional, as someone who was always there to help and was always calm in difficult circumstances. He was motivated and serious, and determined to make a difference, but he also knew when to have a good time. His infectious smile and upbeat manner were catching.

Today we remember and honour Trooper Darryl Caswell, who was killed nineteen years ago today while proudly serving our country in Afghanistan.

On June 11th, 2007, Trooper Darryl James Caswell, aged 25, a member of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, based at CFB Petawawa, Ontario, was killed when the Coyote armoured reconnaissance patrol vehicle he was travelling in struck an improvised explosive device about 40 kilometres north of Kandahar Airfield. Two other soldiers suffered non-life-threatening injuries from the blast and were evacuated by helicopter to the multi-national medical facility at Kandahar Airfield for treatment.

Trooper Caswell was part of a Combat Logistics Patrol (CLP) convoy, conducting a resupply mission for Canadian troops involved in a joint Afghan-coalition operation in the area when the blast occurred at approximately 6:25 p.m. AFT. The convoy was headed to Kharkriz, a northwestern district of Kandahar Province, where Canadian forces were working alongside the Afghan National Army in Operation Adalat. The mission was a push against insurgents in the northern reaches of Canada's command.

Trooper Darryl Caswell was deployed with the Reconnaissance Squadron as part of the 2nd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment Battle Group serving in Afghanistan.

"Every loss of a soldier is a significant one. This is another tough one," said Colonel Mike Cessford, deputy commander of Canadian Forces in Afghanistan.

"Trooper Caswell, a young, great Canadian, died serving Canada and the people of Afghanistan. We'll be thinking of him."

Cessford, himself part of the Dragoons, called Caswell a "great kid."

"This is a difficult security area," Cessford said. "It is, in fact, outside our normal development zone."

Canadian security and development efforts had generally been focused in the southern part of the province.

"It's a more difficult area with larger concentrations of enemy forces, of Taliban forces, than we have seen immediately around Kandahar City," Cessford said.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued the following statement on the death of Trooper Darryl Caswell.

“On behalf of all Canadians, I would like to extend my condolences to the family and friends of Trooper Darryl Caswell. Our thoughts are with them during this difficult time.

"Trooper Caswell was killed while working to improve the security and stability in the northern region of the Kandahar province. He was part of an operation aimed at extending the influence of the Government of Afghanistan. He and his fellow soldiers were facilitating reconstruction and development.

"Without security there can be no development in Afghanistan, and thanks to soldiers like Trooper Caswell, we are making significant progress. He has left a valuable legacy and we will be forever grateful for the ultimate sacrifice he has made for our country.”

🍁

On July 31st, 1981, at Bowmanville Hospital, Darlene Cushman gave birth to a healthy 10 pound, 2 ounce baby boy which she named Darryl James Caswell. On that special day, Darryl really impressed his Mom and the team of nurses on shift, by doing his very first push-up, something none of them thought they'd ever witness from a new born baby. To that they were joyfully impressed! That certainly set the stage for who was to become a beautiful, strong, caring and loving son.

Darryl was such an easygoing child growing up. He loved playing with his dog, reading books, telling stories and jokes, and loved anything outdoors, even in the bitter cold winters, toboganning and making snowman. Darryl had a love for all animals, often visiting the Bowmanville Zoo. His Mother would also take him to the store to buy treats on their way to visit the Bowmanville animal shelter weekly, so he could give them to the dogs and cats. He even learned their names! Darryl had a great love for the outdoors, he loved kite flying and picnics; camping, hiking, and fishing being some of his most favourite pastimes. Darryl joined the Cub Scouts, and loved learning and earning badges for his cub uniform.

Growing up, Darryl attended school in both Sarnia, Ontario, and Bowmanville, Ontario, graduating from Bowmanville High School. He thoroughly enjoyed Tai Kwon Do, archery, and he also enjoyed wood working; building fences, decks, and gazebos. Darryl's Mom has fond memories of them playing board games and playing cards, watching movies, and cooking together, but most all, when they sang together, one microphone, two voices. Darryl had a beautiful singing voice, his military unit said he often sang while driving their Coyote.

Darryl attended one year of college before enlisting with the Canadian Armed Forces in 2004. Darryl's sights were always set on becoming a police officer, alike his beloved Stepfather, Chris Walsh. Darryl had plans of joining the Ontario Provincial Police following his deployment in Afghanistan.

Trooper Caswell took to army life, and he quickly rose to meet the challenges placed before him as a serving member of the Canadian Forces. He embraced the responsibility and expectations.

Darryl loved and enjoyed good pranks, whether giving or receiving, there was always laughter. Adventuresome and a thrill-seeker, Darryl loved bungee jumping, skydiving, and getting a few tattoos, on one of those occasions Darryl and his Mother went in together for new tattoos. Trooper Caswell also loved riding his Honda motorcycle. He enjoyed the adrenaline rush cycling brought, and was both a talented and careful motorcycle enthusiast. He and his good friend, Trooper Patrick James Pentland, used to love riding together. Tragically, on April 11th, 2007, just two months to the day before Caswell's death, Trooper Pentland, aged 23, also a member of B Squadron with the Royal Canadian Dragoons, was killed by a road-side bomb. It hit Darryl hard, but Darryl knew that Patrick would want him to carry on and finish the mission at hand, which he did full heartedly.

Another one of Darryl's many good friends, a fellow comrade named Kyle Robinson, summed up this following paragraph in describing his late friend;

"As soon as he warmed up to you, he would do anything in his power, ability, and knowledge to make sure you were happy. He was always there for a giggle, and was always down for anything fun or adventurous. Darryl was loyal to the definition of the word, always there to lend a hand, and overall, just full of life. It is hard for me to narrow everything down, because he was such an epic and amazing brother I had in my life."

While on leave in in 2007, Darryl and three of his fellow comrades spent time with Kangaroos and Koala Bears in Australia. When he had the chance to hold a Koala Bear, he remembered being taught by his mom how to give cats and dogs his hand to be the chair they'd sit in, to feel secure. After the experience of holding the Koala Bear, which happened to fall on Mother's Day, Darryl eagerly made a call to his Mom saying, "Mom, NEVER give a Koala Bear your hand as a chair, and continued to laugh as he said, it s**t in my hand. Happy Mother’s Day!" While on leave in Australia, Darryl sent special gifts home to each of his family members, unfortunately, they didn't receive those gifts under after they lost Darryl.

"Darryl loved time with his family and friends, including his military family. Darryl was so very proud to serve his country. Darryl will always be remembered for his kind heart, his beautiful smile, his great hugs, and wonderful laughter. Darryl, a loving son, brother, and a wonderful friend, loved and missed always."

In the town of Bowmanville, Ontario, Darryl Caswell Way runs a short distance between Bons Avenue and Honeyman Drive. It’s a short street with a significant legacy: The street bears the name of Trooper Darryl Caswell, a 25-year-old member of The Royal Canadian Dragoons who died on June 11th, 2007 while in serving in Afghanistan. Tpr. Caswell was killed when a roadside bomb exploded next to his Coyote 40 kilometres north of Kandahar Airfield (KAF). The explosion injured two Canadian soldiers travelling with him in the Coyote.

Tpr. Caswell, as a member of the Dragoons Reconnaissance Squadron, was working the 2nd Battalion of The Royal Canadian Regiment Battle Group. His Coyote was part of a Combat Logistics Patrol convoy heading north to resupply a forward operating base in the Kharkriz district during Operation Adalat. Canadian soldiers were fighting alongside the Afghan National Army to clear insurgents from the region.

Tpr. Caswell, a likeable and highly respected young man who worked with youth and spent time with older veterans, was known for his high morals and thoughtful decisions. He had close bonds with his loving mother, Darlene Cushman, his younger sister, Jolene; his father, Paul Caswell, and stepmother, Christine; and his younger brother, Logan.

In all that he did, Tpr. Caswell tried to live up to his creed: "If in a man’s lifetime, he finds nothing he would die for, then he was never worthy." Tpr. Caswell only had a month left of his tour when he died. He was scheduled to fly home on his 26th birthday.

Darryl Caswell was outgoing and friendly, he had many good friends including people at church, fellow comrades and veterans.

Growing up, Darryl wanted to try everything and loved to challenge himself, like when in boot camp he went sky diving for the first time, daring and full of excitement. He enjoyed video games, but mostly he was adventurous. He got his first motorcycle when he was 10 years of age. Darryl along with his army buddy Patrick Pentland did a lot of riding together prior to their deployment.

Darryl was a unique young man of high morals, he absolutely loved positive energy.

Darryl enjoyed reading novels and writing. He even kept a journal while in Afghanistan. He called his Mom regularly while in Afghanistan. He often wrote to his parents and his cherished brother and sister, encouraging them to do their best and to believe in themselves and their goals. Darryl absolutely loved being a big brother to both Jolene and Logan.

Family gatherings were important to Darryl, as was showing respect to elders. He took the time to visit his ailing grandfather while in uniform knowing how much that would please him. He also went regularly to the local Legion and had a few beers with the vets, listening attentively to their stories. He had a very good heart and was most caring and loyal towards family and friends.

Darryl was a man of honour. His love of people and adventure, his pleasant and easy way with everyone, made him popular and welcome wherever he went.

Today we remember and honour Captain Patrick Rushowick, who died suddenly thirteen years ago today.

On June 11th, 2013, Captain Patrick Andrew Cooper Rushowick, aged 28, a member of CFB Kingston’s Engineering Support Squadron, died of su***de.

Patrick Andrew Cooper Rushowick was born on November 17th, 1984, and grew up in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. He attended Columbia and M.C. Knoll Elementary schools, graduating from the Yorkton Regional High School in 2003.

Following his graduation from high school, Patrick attended the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario graduating from the Officer's Training Program with his Bachelor of Science in 2008, and went on to serve as a Combat Engineer. Captain Rushowick was a member of Canadian Forces Base Kingston Engineering Support Squadron.

Captain Rushowick witnessed immense suffering during his time as an engineer in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Two years after his graduation from the Royal Military College, Patrick was deployed to Haiti to help in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake that killed 316,000 and affected millions.

He was then deployed to Afghanistan, where 158 Canadian soldiers died during the mission. He was tasked with assisting one family after the death of their son in combat, while grieving his own close friend in the military who died by su***de.

After serving 10 years in the military, Patrick died by su***de on the 11th of June, 2013, just shy of his 29th birthday.

🍁

When Captain Rushowick was 14, he joined the army cadets in the hope of making a career in the military. He ended up graduating from Kingston’s Royal Military College officer’s training program in 2008 with a bachelor of science degree. In 2009, he became the assisting officer to a family of a soldier killed in Afghanistan. As a combat engineer he was deployed to Haiti to help rebuild the country after it had been ravaged by an earthquake. Not long after he returned to Canada, in November 2010, he was sent to Afghanistan.

AFTER AFGHANISTAN:

Prior to his deployment to Afghanistan there was news a friend had killed himself. It was a grim start to Capt. Rushowick’s tour of duty. A year later, when he returned to testify at the Board of Inquiry into the death, his mother, Bonnie, could sense the changes in her son. “He spoke of his friend from time to time,” she said. “He always disagreed with what his friend did. That is why it was even more shocking to us that he took his life.” Living in the moment-to-moment intensity of a war zone took more out of Capt. Rushowick than he expected. Like so many of his fellow soldiers, he turned inward, choosing not to tell his family of the friends lost overseas and the enemies killed.

LAST POST:

In Afghanistan, Capt. Rushowick witnessed and participated in a number of ramp ceremonies when a soldier’s body is returned to Trenton, Ontario, to grieving families. Sometimes he watched multiple bodies return. When Capt. Rushowick himself returned, he married – but within a year his marriage was on shaky ground. On June 11th, 2013, Capt. Rushowick left a note with a friend across the street to “please look after Zeus,” his dog. Then he drove back to CFB Kingston to the senior officer’s mess, where colleagues saw him and waved. Capt. Rushowick pulled out a gun and shot himself in full view of a stunned mess hall.

REMEMBRANCE:

Family and friends gathered to celebrate Capt. Rushowick’s love for his country and for his random acts of kindness, from helping dig out cars swallowed by snowbanks to mowing the neighbour’s lawn while they were gone on vacation. His death left his mother wondering if his su***de could have been prevented. “If somebody could have grabbed him, and if he’d gone and seen a counsellor right away – would the outcome have been any different?” asked Ms. Rushowick. “It’s a hard thing to be left with.” Fortunately, she has memories of her son’s pre-Afghanistan self; the 6-foot-6 guy with the extra-tall sense of humour who would laugh the loudest, even if the jokes were on him.

Patrick loved his family with all his heart, and no matter where he was posted there were regular phone calls home. He shared a special bond with his siblings and even when they weren't together, there were calls, text messages and Facebook to keep in touch. When he came home on leave, he did his best to spend time with all his friends and extended family - greeting each person with his signature hug that let you know that you were loved.

Patrick always had a smile and a story to share with and about his buddies. He looked after his family and friends. He remembered special occasions and never forgot. He was a warm, loving and caring soul who felt honoured to be a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. That didn’t stop him planning and carrying out some well executed pranks but never to hurt others.

Patrick will be remembered for his passion for the military, his sense of humour, his smile that could light up a room and that grin that usually meant something full of fun was about to begin. We celebrate his kind heart and his compassion that extended beyond all those he knew and loved, to everyone he came in contact with. Patrick is sadly missed and lovingly remembered by the many lives he touched.

Patrick Andrew Cooper Rushowick is survived by his loving parents, Geoff and Bonnie (nee Cooper) Rushowick, his brother James Rushowick, and his sister Tessa Rushowick. He is also greatly missed by his other relatives, friends, and his military family.

Today we remember and honour Private Alexandre Péloquin, who was killed seventeen years ago today while proudly serving our country in Afghanistan.

On June 8th, 2009, Private Alexandre Jacques Péloquin, aged 20, a member of 3e Bataillon, Royal 22e Régiment, based at CFB Valcartier, Québec, was killed by an improvised explosive device during a foot patrol in the village of Nakhonay, in the Panjwai district, about 15 kilometres southwest of Kandahar City. The incident occurred at around 9:20 a.m. AFT.

Canadian soldiers dubbed the region of Nakhonay as one corner of Panjwai's "Taliban triangle," a well-known hub of insurgent activity going back to 2006. By 2009, many locals were becoming increasingly hostile towards the international military presence, and it was believed to be a staging area and logistics hub for insurgent attacks in Kandahar City.

Private Péloquin was killed while participating in Operation CONSTRICTOR, a six-day operation which was aimed at ending the work of an insurgent cell in the volatile Panjwai district. Canadian troops moved into some of the small villages that had been taken over by Taliban fighters to manufacture roadside bombs. Canadian and Afghan forces and NATO surveillance had been tracking Taliban in the region south of Kandahar City to find and neutralize their bomb-making facilities. By the end of the operation, the soldiers had removed materials for hundreds of IEDs, and 15 of the deadly weapons were taken out of circulation.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of our fallen comrade during this very difficult time,” said Brigadier-General Jonathan Vance, commander of Canadian troops in Kandahar.

"His family and friends should be very proud of him, and so should all Canadians, for he represented the very best of Canada."

Peter MacKay, Canada's Minister of National Defence, issued the following statement on the death of Private Alexandre Péloquin in Afghanistan:

"I extend my heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends of Private Alexandre Péloquin, who was killed today when an explosive device detonated during a foot patrol in the Panjwai District.

"Pte. Péloquin was a brave Canadian who deserves the gratitude and respect of his nation. He served valiantly, and represents Canadian values and traditions in the finest sense.

"He gave his life to provide hope to Afghans for a better future and to protect Canadian national interests and the values of freedom, democracy respect for human rights and the rule of law. This UN-sanctioned, NATO-led mission is a challenging one and Canada and the world community will not be swayed from this noble cause.

"The sacrifice Pte. Péloquin made in honour of Canada and the Canadian people will not be forgotten."

Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a statement expressing sorrow and offering condolences to Péloquin's family and friends.

"I join with Canadians who stand proudly with our men and women of the Canadian Forces as they courageously risk their lives every day to bring peace and security to the people of Afghanistan," Harper's statement said.

He added that "real, measurable progress has been made in Afghanistan, but much remains to be done."

Private Alexandre Jacques Péloquin was born on December 27th, 1988 and was raised in the town of Brownsburg, Québec located 75 kilometres northwest of Montréal. He attended elementary school in Brownsburg and high school in nearby Lachute. Alexandre joined the cadets as a youth and worked hard to keep fit, lifting 25-pound logs to build bulk on his 6-foot-2-inch frame. "Pelo", as he was called by friends, was described as a remarkably fit, very courageous and dedicated soldier, a young man of sturdy character.

Private Alexandre Péloquin enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces on October 26th, 2007 in Montréal, Québec and after completing his recruitment training in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec he was sent to Valcartier, Québec.

He completed his infantry training at the Land Force Québec Area Training Center from February 29th, 2008 to June 6th, 2008 when he began serving with the 3rd Battalion, Royal 22nd Regiment. Private Péloquin left Canada on April 1st, 2009 on his first tour of duty in Afghanistan as part of the 2nd Battle Group R22eR.

Alexandre's grandmother, Rita Moore-Péloquin said, "He wanted to go in the army and to Afghanistan. He wasn't obliged to go, but he wanted to go. It was his desire." She said her grandson joined cadets at a young age and used to dress up in medieval costumes and shoot arrows in the woods with his friends, "He was made for this."

While speaking of her grandson's time in Afghanistan, she stated, "He said he never saw anything so beautiful as Afghanistan. He was in good spirits, he really liked it. Surprising indeed." Though his family was frightened, they knew it was what he wanted, and they supported him.

Private Péloquin is a true hero to all who knew him, his courage and bravery will always be remembered. Capt. Claude Pigeon, the army chaplain who presided over the funeral met Alexandre after he completed basic training and said he was a natural leader. "I think he was kind of, not an idol but someone who set the standard for his friends."

During Private Péloquin's funeral service, many of his friends and relatives wore t-shirts with the superman logo. He was a life-long fan of comics and superheroes, but in the end, proved to be just as vulnerable as any man.

Alexandre Jacques Péloquin is survived by his parents, Monique Chevrier and Jacques Péloquin. He is also greatly missed by his other relatives, friends, and his military family.
