Dear Dragoon Families
Once again a month at the regiment has flown by and I hope the same has been true for you and your loved ones over seas.
The RSM recently had the chance to make the trip to theatre and pay a visit to the troops as part of the command team visit. I can tell you your deployed Dragoons continue to make a difference throughout their area of responsibility and their morale is exceptional, despite a high operational tempo; as was reiterated everywhere the RSM travelled during his recent stay in Afghanistan. The troops in A Squadron and the OMLT were very happy to see a familiar face and the principal message they wanted transmitted to you all at home was that they are standing strong and they are committed to getting the job done but they cannot wait to be back home again to share the workload back here.
The Regiment could not be prouder of the current group of soldiers and officers currently serving with the OMLT and the Battle Group.
From old aching bones to troops who look too young to be in uniform the roads are adorned in red shirts, red faces and rucksacks for the upcoming Iron man, Army Run in Ottawa and the Terry Fox run on the 10th of Sep as a warm up for both. We will continue to send out updates on a monthly basis; as well drop by http://www.dragoons.ca which is updated regularly with pictures of ongoing events. Watch for details of where and when you can come out and support and or participate in any of the above events.
