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

I worked with many good people in the CF when I was on active duty in the US military. You can be rightly proud of his service in such an organization.

As for his deployment, the Baltics are an important defensive line for the West and Canadians have always stood proudly at the front lines of freedom and democracy.

He is certainly safer than our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, but the military is not a life people join in order to be safe. Even the training carries some risk. So I will add him and all the CF in the Baltics to my prayers. 🙏
