Today, soldiers in Kandahar will bid farewell to Sgt. Shawn Eades, Sapper Stephan Stock and Cpl. Dustin Wasden, before their long journey home.
Brig.-Gen. Denis Thompson was quoted as saying that Taliban attacks are "absolutely not whittling away at the resolve of Canadian troops.”
Eades, of Hamilton, Ont. leaves behind a wife and two daughters.
Wasden, from Saskatchewan, leaves behind a wife and young daughter.
The latest three deaths bring the total number of Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan since the mission began in 2002 to 93.
About 2,500 Canadian soldiers are now serving in Afghanistan, most of them in the volatile south.
Gentlemen your countrymen remain grateful of your courage.
Chimo!
