My Greatest Accomplishment
Heroes Remember
I think our greatest accomplishment was dusting
ourselves off after the first night, after the mortar attack
the first night. Our greatest accomplishment was getting through
that, soldiering on, focussing on what we have to do and wherever
the Canadians went we were second to none. Everybody wanted us
in their sector because we were so professional, yet Canada
as a country it always seems to be the person in the middle
of a fight, “okay guys let’s talk about this.” But we’re
strong enough that if someone takes a poke at us, oh look out!
You know the way we carried ourselves, through that whole tour
that when we got to Sarajevo we were so accustomed to working in
this country now that I think getting through that first night,
that baptism by fire and the way we carried ourselves with
professional, high degree of professionalism and dignity, that
to me, I think, is one, I see as our greatest accomplishments is.
yeah they tried to take a poke at us. They tried to, you know,
piss us off, welcome to Croatia and we took it on the chin
and carried on and always, you know, accomplished our missions
that whatever came down the pipeline.
