<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I once was an individual living in a world totally
unknown to me, until I came to experience the death of my good friends’ son:
<strong><u><a href="http://isupportourmilitary.blogspot.ca/">Trooper Jack Bouthillier</a></u></strong>, a Canadian Soldier, fallen in combat in <st1:country-region><st1:place>Afghanistan</st1:place></st1:country-region> in March 2009. Jack - also known as «Bouts» - was
born in Hearst (<st1:state><st1:place>Ontario</st1:place></st1:state>), the very town I grew up in. Over time, this heart-rending
experience prompted me to focus my energy, time and efforts toward supporting the communities and agencies that support our Canadian Soldiers.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following Jack’s death, I became acquainted
with several Silver Cross families, Canadian Military members, both active and
retired, and their family members. From <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>these encounters, arose my drive to raise awareness
in support of our Soldiers. I am a firm believer of «finding a need and filling
it»; hence I felt the need to provide comfort, care and compassion to all those
I met and continue to meet along my journey.</span> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In June 2011, I created the facebook group «<strong><u><a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/216550395031860/?fref=ts">WE REMEMBER THEM</a></u></strong>». My ongoing pursuit is to continue posting pictures of our
Canadian Fallen Soldiers on the anniversary date of their death (as a result
from having served in </span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style="font-family: Arial;">Afghanistan</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="font-family: Arial;">). My promise to these
families is to ensure that we will always remember our Fallen Soldiers. (As of May 2014, only pictures that I get authorization from the family are post in that group)<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">On my facebook page (<strong><u><a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/lise.charron1">Lise A Charron</a></u></strong>), I have noticed an increasing interest from people regarding information
I post about our Canadian Military. The information posted is different from
what we usually hear through the media. My intention is to provide information on
topics related to day-to-day life, thereby affecting humanity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
