Transcription

Opening up the airport in Sarajevo was probably amongst some of the biggest highlights I think in my career. Bringing food/medicine to people that hadn’t had it. I mean that’s what we were there for. But everybody, we always look at the heartbreak of the shooting and the shelling. We were the first Canadians shelled since Korea. It’s not something I’m proud to say, but I mean it did happen and, yeah, we have to deal with that.
