Subject: Iain is off to Afghanistan

Hi Folks,

Just to let you know that Iain left for Afghanistan yesterday (Saturday).

We went up to Petawawa on Thursday evening to have supper together and have a little visit before he departed. Here
are some pics from that evening ...

Jennifer and Anne examine summer photos under Iain's supervision.




Iain and Jordan have a moment together





Iain, just before we called it a night ...






Jennifer and the boys drove Iain to the base early Saturday morning. On Sunday morning Iain called Jennifer to say that
they had reached their intermediate stopover (somewhere in the Middle East, I think). They were due to leave for Kabul
on Sunday afternoon (Ottawa time) and should have landed at Kabul Airport about two hours ago (9:30 pm Ottawa
time). As I write this he has probably arrived at the Canadian camp ... here's a DND pic of the camp:






(That's a bombed-out Royal Palace in the background.)


Next week our troops will start doing this:









Here's the
DND Website for the operation ... see the Photo Gallery for lots more pics.
