War in Afghanistan On the morning of 11 September 2001, terrorists hijacked four American commercial passenger aircraft. Two were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Centre in New York City, the third struck the Pentagon in Washington D.C. and the fourth crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. No one aboard the aircraft survived. Thousands of people died in the Towers and the Pentagon The United States launched an international campaign against terrorism, to which the Canadian Forces (CF) is making a significant contribution. Canada currently has about 2,200 soldiers, sailors and air force personnel serving in the following operational units deployed on Operation APOLLO in Afghanistan. These are: a Battle Group (composed of infantry, armoured reconnaissance, field engineer and combat service support units) integrated with Task Force Rakkasan, the coalition force based at Kandahar International Airport in Afghanistan. My youngest son is with this unit and currently in Afghanistan. Please take a minute to write a note to our soldiers in the PPCLI (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry) in Afghanistan. Take a minute to say hello, send a thumb's up, or just tell them how proud we are of their efforts.
