Ottawa, OntarioPrime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement on the death of Trooper Darryl Caswell:
“On behalf of all Canadians, I would like to extend my condolences to the family and friends of Trooper Darryl Caswell. Our thoughts are with them during this difficult time.
Trooper Caswell was killed while working to improve the security and stability in the northern region of the Kandahar province. He was part of an operation aimed at extending the influence of the Government of Afghanistan. He and his fellow soldiers were facilitating reconstruction and development.
Without security there can be no development in Afghanistan, and thanks to soldiers like Trooper Caswell, we are making significant progress. He has left a valuable legacy and we will be forever grateful for the ultimate sacrifice he has made for our country.”
