I rise today to recognize and congratulate Master
Corporal Steven Pink, formerly of Burgeo, on his service
to our country and his safe return from Afghanistan.
Master Corporal Pink is a member of the infantry with
the Canadian Armed Forces who recently returned from a
successful tour of duty at Afghanistan. Steven has been
a member of the Armed Forces for twelve years and is now
thirty years of age. This was Steven’s third tour
overseas and his second to Afghanistan. Steven was
stationed at Afghanistan for seven months during his
last stint.
Master Corporal Pink is the son of Linda and the late
Fredrick Pink of Burgeo. After his tour at Afghanistan,
Steven spent some time with his mother at Burgeo. A
motorcade with sixty vehicles welcomed him back to town
which was followed by a meet and greet luncheon hosted
by local volunteer organizations at the Burgeo Community
Centre. There was a huge turnout and the support from
the residents for one of their own was overwhelming.
Steven is currently stationed at Pettawa, Ontario but
will soon be transferred to Gagetown, New Brunswick.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join
with me in extending thanks to Master Corporal Steven
Pink on his service to our country. All the best to
Master Corporal Pink and his family.
Thank you. |
