Card Heart Truck Mural A Father's Tribute To Son Killed In Afghanistan
Truck mural a father's tribute to son killed in Afghanistan

By Allison Jones, THE CANADIAN PRESS



Raynald Bouthillier's tribute truck, honouring his son late Trp. Jack "Bouts" Bouthillier, is shown in this recent photo. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO, Mariève Sigouin
Quote:
After losing his son in Afghanistan, Raynald Bouthillier felt grief but also pride, and thought nothing less than a grand gesture would be a fitting tribute to the young soldier.

Trooper Jack Bouthillier was killed alongside Trooper Corey Hayes, both of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, in a roadside bomb blast March 20, an attack in which three other soldiers were injured.

This story is yet another reminder of how frightened we are for my step-son.
He is an Army MP, scheduled to deploy next month. (that is his photo I use for my avatar)

That truck stands as a beautiful, but somber reminder that we Americans are not alone in this war. Our friend Canada has bled plenty too.

If anybody can post more detailed pics of this truck, I would love to see them.

I sent a request to Mr. Bouthillier. If I hear anything, I will post it here.
