The 3rd Battalion of Princess Patricia's
Canadian Light Infantry on the move.
But this Remembrance Day, marching shorthanded.
Sadly, a few new names will be added to the rolls of fallen soldiers.
Private Aidan Goulding, Private Sean Farrell,
Private Hayden Leichmark and Sergeant Morgan Wong
died in a training exercise fire at CFB Wainwright in October.
All four were attached to the PPCLI.
Their loss hits this community hard.
Many in this crowd closely tied to the military.
It was just gut-wrenching, heartbreaking,
absolutely devastating for family members,
the community, everybody in CAF.
This ceremony a chance for people here to show their support.
On a tough day of remembrance, there's a little bit of light there.
It's nice to see the community come together.
But the casualties from CFB Wainwright aren't limited
to those remembered here.
21 soldiers injured last month are still in hospital.
Nine remain in critical condition.
Their struggle not forgotten.
People around our country are thinking and praying for your recovery.
Those soldiers top of mind in Ottawa.
Canada's top general says a board
of inquiry into the CFB Wainwright incident
is being put together but gave no firm timeline.
It's a reminder of you know of what service might means
and the immense sacrifice that our CAF members
do along with their families.
As the wait for answers continues on this hardest of remembrance days,
a reminder of what it means to persevere.
Despite their losses,
the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry march on.
Aaron Collins, CBC News, St. Albert, Alberta.
Grieve now because duty, life don't go away, duty doesn't go away
and we grieve now to prepare us for tomorrow.
