Special military dedication and ceremony held to honour fallen Calgary soldier | Globalnews.ca
“We treasure him and we honour him but this is a way for the rest of the public, the rest of Calgary, to see who he was and what he did and make the connection that this exact machine was in Afghanistan and it saw fire. While crewing one of these, one of their own made the ultimate sacrifice,” said warrant officer Pablo Fernandez from the King’s Own Calgary Regiment.
Hornburg was 24-years-old when he became the 71st Canadian solider to die in Afghanistan.
The Canadian Forces reported he was killed after being hit by mortar while he tried to put a track back on a leopard tank under fire.
------------------------------------------
But those who he helped free from Afghanistan and who are now living here in a free country and prospering,,,,,,,,,,did not show up today to show their respect and to give thanks for his ultimate sacrifice.
What scum bags we always go out to help and get nothing in return.
