Cpl. Andrew Grenon, Cpl. Mike Seggie and Pte. Chad Horn were killed in the Zhari district of Afghanistan’s southern Kandahar province.<\/p>\n
Thompson said that when the insurgents attacked the soldiers at about 9:30 a.m., the Canadians returned fire. Even the wounded soldiers pulled themselves out of the armoured vehicle and started firing back.<\/p>\n
The eight soldiers were rushed out of the area, and three were pronounced dead at the Kandahar Airfield. Thompson said one of the wounded is now in critical condition and another in serious but stable condition. Two are in good condition, and one has been treated and released from medical care.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Cpl. Andrew Grenon had been awarded the Canadian Expeditionary Forces Commander’s Commendation just a week ago for saving the lives of two soldiers and preventing a civil riot in March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
