\u00c9poux, fr\u00e8re, fils et soldat, plusieurs connaissaient les diff\u00e9rentes facettes du caporal-chef Raymond Arndt. Il \u00e9tait un ami extraordinaire. Il \u00e9tait g\u00e9n\u00e9reux et jovial, extraverti et charismatique, logique et bruyant et il avait le don merveilleux de faire sentir les autres comme \u00e9tant les \u00eatres les plus importants du monde.<\/p>\n

N\u00e9 \u00e0 Edson, le caporal-chef Arndt a grandi \u00e0 Peers en Alberta. Il avait trois soeurs. Bien qu\u2019il les aimait beaucoup, il avait toujours voulu un fr\u00e8re et c\u2019est dans l\u2019arm\u00e9e qu\u2019il a retrouv\u00e9 la fraternit\u00e9 et la camaraderie dont il avait besoin.<\/p>\n

En mai 2000, il s\u2019est enr\u00f4l\u00e9 en tant que r\u00e9serviste pour le Loyal Edmonton Regiment. Il \u00e9tait fier de faire partie de l\u2019escadron de la plus ancienne r\u00e9serve d\u2019infanterie de l\u2019Alberta. Le caporal-chef Arndt s\u2019est impliqu\u00e9 \u00e0 fond dans le r\u00e9giment, et il est m\u00eame devenu percussionniste au sein de l\u2019orchestre LER Pipes and Drums. Il adorait la vie militaire et son r\u00eave \u00e9tait de servir outre-mer. En 2002, il a failli partir en mission en Bosnie, mais il a rencontr\u00e9 une limite, laquelle il \u00e9tait d\u00e9termin\u00e9 \u00e0 d\u00e9passer!<\/p>\n

Le caporal-chef Arndt est n\u00e9 avec un pied bot. Il a subi de nombreuses chirurgies durant son enfance et chaque fois, il devait r\u00e9apprendre \u00e0 marcher. Cette pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance lui a servi dans sa vie de soldat. Les cons\u00e9quences de ces chirurgies l\u2019ont laiss\u00e9 avec deux pieds de diff\u00e9rentes grandeurs; son pied gauche avait une pointure de 5.5 et le droit de 7.5. Il avait de la difficult\u00e9 \u00e0 porter des chaussures et encore plus des bottes de combat. Pendant des ann\u00e9es, il a port\u00e9 des bottes de deux pointures trop grandes pour lui et durant son entra\u00eenement pour la mission en Bosnie, cela a caus\u00e9 de douloureuses ampoules et des blessures \u00e0 un genou. Il n\u2019a pas l\u00e2ch\u00e9! Son r\u00eave de servir outre-mer s\u2019est r\u00e9alis\u00e9 en 2006. Cette fois-ci, avec les bonnes pointures de bottes, il a termin\u00e9 son entra\u00eenement \u00e0 Wainwright et il a ensuite \u00e9t\u00e9 envoy\u00e9 en mission en Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Au Edmonton Garission, son p\u00e8re, ses soeurs et son \u00e9pouse lui ont fait leurs adieux. Il avait rencontr\u00e9 son \u00e9pouse trois ans auparavant lors d\u2019un d\u00eener militaire au Loyal Edmonton Regiment. Leur premier rendez-vous a eu lieu le 11 novembre 2003, lorsqu\u2019elle est venue le voir lors d\u2019un d\u00e9fil\u00e9 militaire. Ils se sont mari\u00e9s deux ans plus tard, le 19 novembre 2005. Quelques mois plus tard, il partait en tourn\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

En tant que membre du peloton de protection des forces arm\u00e9es, le travail du caporal-chef comportait des dangers. Un travail qui l\u2019a amen\u00e9, lui et ses compagnons d\u2019armes, \u00e0 escorter des convois de ravitaillement \u00e0 travers les terrains min\u00e9s de la province de Kandahar. Il a ador\u00e9 chaque instant, convaincu qu\u2019il contribuait \u00e0 une cause et qu\u2019il aidait un pays dans le besoin.<\/p>\n

Le 5 ao\u00fbt 2006, le caporal-chef Arndt entreprenait son quatre-vingt-cinqui\u00e8me convoi lorsque le v\u00e9hicule blind\u00e9 o\u00f9 il prenait place a percut\u00e9 un camion de plein fouet \u00e0 35 km de Kandahar. Il \u00e9tait en train de livrer des fournitures m\u00e9dicales dans un camp \u00e9loign\u00e9 aux fronti\u00e8res de l\u2019Afghanistan et du Pakistan. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 le premier membre du Loyal Edmonton Regiment \u00e0 perdre la vie en pleine op\u00e9ration militaire depuis la Premi\u00e8re Guerre mondiale.<\/p>\n

L\u2019homme, le soldat, surnomm\u00e9 Pickle Man et Old Man Rage par ses amis, \u00e9tait \u00e0 quatre jours de la fin de sa mission de six mois \u00e0 Kandahar, et \u00e0 onze jours de son retour \u00e0 Edmonton.<\/p>\n

Il \u00e9tait \u00e2g\u00e9 de 31 ans.<\/p>\n
