Private Robert Costall
Private Robert Costall of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry and an as yet unnamed US Soldier were among the dead yesterday in fighting with Taliban forces in Afghanistan.
Private Costall was the 12th Canadian Soldier killed in Afghanistan since our troops have been deployed there.
Words entirely fail to accurately capture my feelings, so please join me in a moment of quiet reflection for both Private Robert Costalls sacrifice, and for the continued service and dedication of the men and women of our armed forces.
Thank you.
Sad news.
