The Bond of Friendship Lives on Forever
Heroes Remember
It’s definitely quite a bond, sometimes
I think oh it’s not such a thing but then I’ll,
I went on a “Soldier On” event two or three
years ago now and it was only a weeklong event.
I hadn’t been around a lot of military
people for a while and I went and within,
it was just like when you go on course,
training course in the military within two or
three days I had four friends that I know
I am going to be friends for the
rest of my life now, right, there just is
that instant bond that you recognize in one
another or what have you but you pick up on it.
I know I have a friend here in Charlottetown
now that went through Afghanistan pretty
severely injured from that but him and
I are best friends now but we didn’t
deploy together, we just kind of came through
the social network of PEI and met one
another but now we’re going to be
buddies for the rest of our lives.
So it is that common, I guess shared
experience and you know when you’re in a
tent for six months everybody’s got to live
with it right, everybody is going through
some of the same things so you find
your common ground.
And it’s good on the other side too because
there’s guys coming out of the military
so we try to look out for each other
as we can, not as much as we could I think
sometimes but it’s definitely there.
I know a buddy of mine in Vancouver who
was going through some struggles and,
you know, he says now I got a guy in PEI
helping out a guy in Vancouver.
You know, it’s the technological age
but we’re still there for each other right.
