My nephew is being deployed

Next Tuesday to go to Latvia as part of Operation Reassurance where the Canadian armed forces contributes to NATO deterrence and defence measures

He’ll be completely safe but this is the first time anyone in our family has ever been deployed in the army so it’s a a new experience for us

My son has deployed to Iraq as a helo mechanic and Saudi Arabia as a helo crew chief. Next one will be as a Blackhawk helo Chief Warrant pilot.

I just tell myself he is doing what he chose to do.

He has also helped dump water on wildfires and rescue people from floods.
