Calgary paramedic Michael Starker has been killed in the line of military duty while serving in Afghanistan.

Corporal Starker was deployed to Afghanistan in December 2007.

He began his career with The City of Calgary EMS in

June 2005.

Starker was killed and another soldier was wounded when their civilian military affairs team was ambushed in the Zhari district.

Brigadier-General Guy Laroche, the commander of Canadian troops in the war-torn country, says the gunfight happened along a road in the hotly contested region.

Starker is the 83rd Canadian soldier to die in the war-torn country since the overthrow of the Taliban in 2001.

yes sorry to hear that as well

seems to me that afganistan will be the place hwere the trouble will be, not so much iraq

the taliban looks to be reforming to attack when they want

in the past month 3 aussie troops have paid the ultimate price in this fight against terrorism, one of them was the brother o my wife's work colleague

i can only hope it will end before more people have to be lost to us

stay safe

Cpl Mike Starker was a great medic and a great person as well. Let his passing remind us of how fragile our freedom and safety is. It is worth the fight, and we should be honored to have people like Mike fight with and for us.
