#1 Thank you, Gloria. Please thank Kevin for helping to keep us all safe, and let him know we'll keep him in our thoughts and prayers. We've been reading inspiring stories about the Canadians in Afghanistan from the very beginning; I look forward to reading about the triumphs of the King's Own, and being proud to be connected to one of them.

#4 Kevin is a quiet, very nice young man who's convinced he's no great shakes. He is hero-worshipped by his mom and dad and sister, with good reason from what they tell us.
