Pillows For Troops
CJOB's Barry Burns reporting
3/15/2010

All members of the Canadian Forces currently serving in Afghanistan are about to get a little comfort from home. Thirty nine hundred Pillows for Troops have finally arrived at Kandahar Airfield, and this week the Canadian Forces Personnel Support Agency staff on the ground will be handing them out. The pillows have been donated by Canadians in memory of Corporal James Arnal of Winnipeg, killed in Afghanistan in 2008. There are more pillows to go too.  Another 4 thousand will be shipped there as the Canadian military changes rotations over the next year and 3 quarters untill the end of our combat committment in 2011.
