Message from Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaelle Jean Governor General and Commander-Chief of Canada on the Death of Private Mark Anthony Graham

Speech

September 5, 2006
OTTAWA "The circumstances surrounding the death
of Private Mark Anthony Graham of the 1st Battalion of the Royal Canadian
Regiment and the injuries sustained by a number of his comrades in Southern
Afghanistan are tragic. My husband Jean-Daniel Lafond and I are deeply
saddened by this turn of events. These are trying times for all of the
families concerned, as well as for all the Canadian Forces military personnel
stationed there. Our women and men are giving their all, convinced as they are
of the importance of their mission in Afghanistan. On behalf of all Canadians,
we would like to express our full support and let them know that our thoughts
are with them at all times, day in and day out, as they persevere in the face
of such challenging circumstances."
