Take a good look...

...into the face of unadulterated courage...

A military engineer was killed Sunday as he tried to defuse two roadside bombs hidden in a rural culvert.

Cpl. Dube, the 120th Canadian soldier to be killed in Afghanistan, served with the 5ieme Régiment du Génie de Combat, based inValcartier, Que.

He is survived by his mother Marie-Paule, his father Roger, his brother Vincent and his girlfriend Julie.
He will be remembered.

Combat engineering..a difficult and very unforgiving job.

Do your job well, and you get to live, and nobody notices..

Make a mistake....

the thing is... i can't even begin to imagine the kind of courage it takes to walk up to one of these things, in a combat situation no less... and plunk your ass down and start to take it apart.

raw, unadultered courage.
