Mr. Diab
What a wonderful site you have put up in memory of your son. I was in the battlegroup with him, but I'm sad to say I didn't know him personally. I thank you for the opportunity to visit the site you created, as well as to see more of your son through your memories.

I am a proud Canadian, a father who lost his only son on March 8 2009 when I received the sad news that my Hero son Trooper Marc diab has been killed by a road side bomb.I could not believe it, he was in the army for 3 years , and it was only 3 weeks to come home and get engaged to his girlfriend suddenly all plans changed ...I wonder with our army and the high Tec we cant still detect those bombs although our Army has all kind of sophisticated equipments to find those Bombs. If for a reason you don't know Marc please visit his website www.marcdiab.com, which me and his mother and in his memory to keep his life alive we created it by a professional, he has lots of pictures since he was young and in the army too.
God bless our troops overseas in Afghanistan and all around the world and bless our peaceful country Canada.

Thank you for sharing your loving tribute to your son, and thank you for your family's sacrifice.
Even though retired from the mlitary since before the war, I have witnessed the departure of five of our finest young men from Afghanistan for the long trip home. I think about the rest....often. What might have been, those they loved and what they wanted to do with life. Your son was a true hero, something many in this country who have never served will never understand. Thank you for sharing this with us and God Bless.

Mr. Diab
I was in the BG with Marc; however, I didn't know him. With over 1200 members, it wasn't uncommon to see people at the end of the tour, people you knew from years before, and only then finding out that they were over there with you.
Soon after you posted your memorial site, I visited it, back in May I believe. I have it saved as one of my favourites in my browser, and every once in a while, I visit it. It is a classy site, very well done, and it is quite the honour for your son. Thank you for having it created.

Park named for fallen soldier
A park just behind St. Joseph Secondary School will be named for Marc Diab, the Mississauga soldier who was killed by a roadside bomb while serving in Afghanistan last March 8.
City councillors unanimously supported the recommendation at a general committee meeting yesterday.
The park, now known as Whitehorn Park, is located on Whitehorn Ave. just east of St. Joseph Secondary School, where Diab attended classes after his family arrived in Canada from Lebanon in 2000.
The Diab family lived in the neighbourhood for most of his youth.
"Marc leaves a lasting legacy to his community and the nation with his strong leadership and involvement with youth," Commissioner of Community Services Paul Mitcham said in a report to councillors.
Last March 17, hundreds of mourners, including representatives from Peel Regional Police, Toronto Police, the RCMP and the Canadian military, packed Our Lady of Lebanon Church in Toronto to give their final salute to the fallen soldier.
Diab's family, including his father, Hani, and mother, Jihan, followed the flag-draped casket into the church.
"Marc was a very talented person," Father Emmanuel Nakhle told mourners. "He was creative and participated in youth activities in the parish," the priest said, adding Diab ran several summer church groups for youths. "He was an example of faith and dedication to the church and to our community. He was just a comforting and caring person."
The plaque bearing the new name of the park, Trooper Marc Diab Park, will be unveiled at the March 10 City council meeting. Diab's family has been invited to attend.
