I rise today to recognize and congratulate Master
Corporal Marty Francis, formerly of LaPoile, on his
service to our country and his safe return from
Afghanistan.
Master Corporal Francis is a fireman with the Royal
Canadian Air Force who recently returned from a
successful tour of duty at Afghanistan. Marty has been a
member of the Air Force for fifteen years, he is
thirty-five years of age. He was stationed in
Afghanistan for eight months.
Marty is the son of Cecil and Margaret Francis of
LaPoile, in the District of Burgeo & LaPoile. After
his tour at Afghanistan, Marty spent some time with his
parents in LaPoile where a dinner was held and a dance
was held in his honour. Marty was left speechless by the
tribute and says it is something that he will never
forget and he is very grateful for. He also said he
would gladly return to Afghanistan again if needed.
Marty is currently stationed in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this hon. House to
join with me in extending thanks to Master Corporal
Marty Francis on his service to our country. All the
best to Master Corporal Francis and his family. |
