MESSAGE FROM MWO DENIS BOILY :

Après plus de 43 ans de bon et loyal service au sein de forces armées Canadienne, Je prendrai ma retraite le 27 février 2025.

Je garde des souvenir précieux des nombreux collègues dont J’ai eu le privilège de servir à travers ces nombreuses années. C’est à travers des nombreuses épreuves et défis que nous apprenons à se connaitre et souvent tisser des liens d’amitié précieux.

Je tiens à remercier tout spécialement ma femme Diane Allard et mes enfants Stéphane et Jennifer pour leurs soutiens continu à travers ma très longue carrière. Sans le support et comprenions cette aventure n’aurait simplement pas été possible. Ils ont vécu les défis de la vie militaire mais ont aussi découvert l’étendu et les différentes communautés qui forme notre beau et grand pays.

C’est à travers toutes ces missions et voyages autant domestiques qu’à l’étranger, que J’ai appris à aimer mon pays pour ce qu’il est, autant pour sa grandeur en territoire que ses valeurs éthiques et morales. Il est évident que nous sommes privilégiés de vivre ici. J’espère que plus de canadien se joindrons aux forces canadiennes pour continuer cette noble mission.

Adjum Denis Boily
