News Release
Two Canadian soldiers killed by suicide bomberCEFCOM/COMFEC NR–06.032 - November 28, 2006
OTTAWA – Two Canadian soldiers were killed on
November 27 at approximately 8:35 am (Kandahar time) when their Bison
Light Armoured Vehicle was attacked by a suicide bomber driving a car
laden with explosives. The incident occurred on Highway 4 between
Kandahar Airfield and Kandahar City. There were no other Canadian
casualties.
Killed in the attack were:
- Chief Warrant Officer Robert Girouard, the Regimental
Sergeant Major of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment Battle
Group; and
- Corporal Albert Storm, also of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment Battle Group based in Petawawa, On.
Chief Warrant Officer Girouard and Cpl Storm will be greatly missed
by all the members of joint Task Force Afghanistan. Their sacrifice
will not be forgotten and this event will not prevent us from
continuing our operations in Kandahar.
Canadian troops in Afghanistan are serving alongside soldiers and
civilians from 36 countries under the NATO-led, UN-mandated
International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). A key part of Canada’s
‘whole of government’ assistance to Afghanistan is helping to establish
the security necessary to promote development. |

As with any volunteer organization, don’t volunteer for a job unless you have the knowledge and time to do the job right. Anything less is a disservice to the organization.

You will not be forgotten my brother. I know that you and Al made the right decision when you drove into the oncomming vehicle and blew it up to save the convoy.
May God grant you abundant fish, a tight ship and and calm seas.
