One Canadian soldier killed by improvised explosive device
CEFCOM NR – 10.020 - December 19, 2010
OTTAWA — One Canadian Forces member was killed yesterday, December 18th, 2010, after an improvised explosive device detonated while on operations in the Panjwa’i district of Kandahar Province, at approximately 12:30 p.m. local time.
Killed in action was Corporal Steve Martin, from 3rd Battalion, Royal 22e Régiment, serving with 1st Battalion, Royal 22e Régiment Battle Group, based at CFB Valcartier, Quebec.
Our thoughts are with the families and friends of our fallen soldier during this difficult time. We will not forget the sacrifice of this soldier as we continue to bring security and hope to the people of Kandahar Province.
Canada in partnership with Afghan National Security Forces, the Afghan authorities and ISAF partners remain committed to providing Afghans the necessary support to build a self-sustained society improving the security situation in order to set confidence-building conditions for reconstruction and development in the region.
Together, in partnership with Afghan National Security Forces and ISAF allies, Joint Task Force Afghanistan continues to maintain the initiative in Panjwa'i and Dand Districts.
Note to editors: A photograph of Corporal Martin is available on the Fallen Canadians page of the Department of National Defence website. Please visit http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/news-nouvelles/fallen-disparus/index-eng.asp

Just to let you know, one of the Wikileaks that Assange let out...How our and our allies military designed a technology to avoid getting hit by IED’s as they rode down the rode....
Yeah, Assange is just into freedom of speech and transparency...sure, lets give him the Noble Peace Prize.
BTW, heard that on talk radio...Not the NYT.
Prayers out to his family.
Rest in peace, Corporal Martin. Condolences for his family.
Perfect pinishment for everyone of the wickedleaker gang. Make them HUMMVEE Drivers in Afgahanistan. Not allowed Cell phones or any sort of computer or radio access. Only allowed to drive that military vehicle int Tali Territory.

Absolutely.
What is worse than the Left’s actions is their arrogant and cowardly refusal to participate in direct conflict while lying the whole time trying to make themselves look oh-so virginal peaceful...
the Left has the deep inner hatred that our enemies have..their personalities are much more aligned with terrorist thugs than their phony “words of peace”,
a thug is a thug is a thug...al quida, Assange, Black Panthers, Arafat, Palis, Hamas, Moosieleem Brotherhood, Bill ayrs,Hispanic and Black and neo nazi “gangs” and ted Bundy.
RIP.
