Une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie aigre-douce eut lieu le 14 mai 2014 au Carr\u00e9 Nathan Green \u00e0 Halifax en Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse. La famille et les amis du Caporal-chef Christopher Stannix, accompagn\u00e9s de membres de l\u2019Arm\u00e9e Canadienne, se sont r\u00e9unis pour le lancement du nouveau traversier de Woodside, le Christopher Stannix. Les r\u00e9sidents de Halifax et des communaut\u00e9s environnantes avaient vot\u00e9 pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment pour nommer le nouveau traversier en l\u2018honneur de Chris, qui avait pass\u00e9 son enfance en Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse et, avant de s\u2019engager en Afghanistan, avait \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tudiant a l\u2019universit\u00e9 St.Mary pendant qu\u2019il habitait \u00e0 Darthmouth, Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse. Cette universit\u00e9 avait d\u00e9cern\u00e9 \u00e0 Chris son premier dipl\u00f4me \u00e0 titre posthume en 2007.<\/p>\n

Ces actes de gratitudes d\u00e9crivent un homme qui, bien que tr\u00e8s jeune, \u00e9tait dou\u00e9 d\u2019une maturit\u00e9 extraordinaire. On aper\u00e7oit sa nature pensive et g\u00e9n\u00e9reuse lorsqu\u2019 il d\u00e9clara avant son d\u00e9part pour l \u2018Afghanistan, \u00ab j\u2019aimerais croire que, si j\u2019\u00e9tais dans la m\u00eame situation qu\u2019ils se trouvent en ce moment, quelqu\u2019 un se porterait volontaire et m\u2019aiderait de la m\u00eame fa\u00e7on que je me porte volontaire pour les aider\u201d.<\/p>\n

Chris s\u2019engagea dans le r\u00e9giment Princesse Louise Fusiliers \u00e0 Halifax lorsqu\u2019il \u00e9tait encore \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole secondaire et acheva plusieurs cours d\u2019orientation et d\u2019exercices militaires avant d \u00eatre promu caporal-chef en 2006.<\/p>\n

C \u00e9tait pour lui une progression naturelle. Lorsqu\u2019il \u00e9tait enfant, Chris et ses amis jouaient avec des soldats miniatures pendant des heures, construisant villes et villages o\u00f9 ils y menaient de formidables batailles. Peut \u00eatre parce qu\u2019il venait d \u2018une famille de militaires, Chris aimait l\u2019arm\u00e9e et \u00e9tait d\u00e9termin\u00e9 \u00e0 en faire sa carri\u00e8re. Ses \u00e9tudes d\u2019histoire \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9 complimentaient m\u00eame son entrainement militaire.<\/p>\n

Chris avait aussi un c\u00f4t\u00e9 comique, n\u2019h\u00e9sitant pas \u00e0 faire n\u2019importe quoi pour gagner (avec deux amis) le championnat atlantique de paintball en 2004. Ses don inn\u00e9s \u00e9taient litt\u00e9ralement amplifi\u00e9s par des ruses originales pour battre l\u2019adversaire, terrorisant et d\u00e9concertant la comp\u00e9tition tous les matins \u00e0 l \u2018aide de musique de \u00ab Boy Bands \u00bb tonitruante. Il \u00e9tait reconnu comme une force sur la patinoire de hockey gardant toujours en vue son b\u00e2ton sp\u00e9cial et \u00e9tait toujours pr\u00eat pour une pizza ou un sub. Chris b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiait d\u2019une relation sp\u00e9ciale avec sa grand- m\u00e8re Nana, qui aimait tant son beau sourire et tissait des m\u00e9moires avec ses parents et s\u0153urs, ainsi que sa fianc\u00e9e, avec laquelle il avait pass\u00e9 un No\u00ebl magique au Colorado en 2006.<\/p>\n

Voyageant au Canada et aux \u00c9tats-Unis en tant que fils d\u2019une famille de l\u2019Arm\u00e9e de l\u2019Air, Chris eut un aper\u00e7u et appris beaucoup sur la vie militaire. En d\u00e9pit de sa famille essayant de le convaincre de rester au Canada, il accepta une r\u00e9duction de son rang pour pouvoir aller en Afghanistan. Il s\u2019engagea avec le bataillon 2 RCR dans les r\u00e9gions de Masum Gar et de Maywan. Il \u00e9crivit dans son agenda une citation d\u2019Amelia Earhart \u201c l\u2019aventure en vaut la peine\u201d. Cette philosophie le guida pendant des journ\u00e9es de plus en plus difficiles et dangereuses, \u00e9tant expos\u00e9s \u00e0 la terreur, la salet\u00e9 et la poussi\u00e8re. Avec des bombardements fr\u00e9quents et quelques moments trop proches du danger, entrecoup\u00e9s par des p\u00e9riodes d\u2019ennui profondes, les soldats avait les nerfs \u00e0 vif.<\/p>\n

I l n \u2018\u00e9tait pas le premier soldat \u00e0 citer dans son journal \u201c La guerre est \u00e9trange, elle va de z\u00e9ro a soixante en un quart de seconde et toujours quand vous ne vous y attendez pas\u201d. Mais il pensait aussi \u00e0 son futur et souhaitait ne pas trop changer et voulait repartir le m\u00eame homme qui \u00e9tait arriv\u00e9, peut \u00eatre un peu plus sage. H\u00e9las, Chris n\u2018a pu garder sa promesse \u00e0 Nana d\u2018aller la voir au lac pendant l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9. Contemplant les dunes de sable du D\u00e9sert Rouge qui s\u2018\u00e9talaient \u00e0 perte de vue, il pensait \u00ab Aventure, peut-\u00eatre, sagesse, certainement \u00bb.<\/p>\n
