Cpl. Brian Pinksen was walking a short distance between two Canadian combat outposts on August 22, 2010, in the village of Nakhonay, 18 kilometres south west of Kandahar city, when an improvised explosive device planted by insurgents was detonated, injuring the soldier and one of his fellow servicemen. Both soldiers were treated at the scene before being airlifted to Kandahar Airfield's Role 3 Multi-National Medical Facility. They were flown to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Centre hospital in Ramstein, Germany three days later. The second soldier is recovering.
Cpl. Pinksen was from the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Newfoundland Regiment, based in Corner Brook, and served with the 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment Battle Group.
Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Brian Pinksen is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
