Veterans MC Canada suffers a huge loss.

Cpl Michael Starker of Calgary lost his life to Taliban Insurgents May 6th while on duty as a medic with 15 Field Ambulance.


Starker, who worked as a paramedic in Calgary, Alberta, began his deployment in Afghanistan late last year, Calgary Emergency Medical Services said.


Our brothers of the Veterans MC Canada are hurting real bad over the loss of Michael and they could use your support right now - visit their web site http://www.veteransmccanada.com/ and let them know how you feel.
I myself am at a loss for words as I have met Mike and he was a sweet guy....my heart goes out to all who have been touched by this tragedy.

Stay safe out there....
