More Canadians die in Afghanistan


Chopper crash kills Canadian soldiers

Master Corporal Pat Audet, left, and Corporal Martin Joannette died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan July 6.


A helicopter crash possibly caused by mechanical failure claimed the lives of two Canadian soldiers on Monday, bringing Canada's death toll from the Afghanistan mission to four in as many days.


The crash of the Griffon helicopter at an American forward operating base in Zabul province, about 80 kilometres northeast of Kandahar city, killed Master Corporal Pat Audet and Corporal Martin Joannette along with a coalition soldier from another country.

In the same week that a British soldier dies in a helicopter crash, two of our cousins die in the same theatre.
Bless the Canadian sacrifices.
