The following note was sent to Dance Pak member Char after Canadian Forces Night on March 21st.

“This picture is being framed and hung up in our Armouries in Niagara. If it makes it a bit more interesting the beret you and your friend on the far right wore were both in Afghanistan in 2010. Myself and my buddy on the far right (Tom) are both Infantry and were overseas as part of whats known as the “Battle Group”. The inscription on the cap badge on the beret means “Not for ourselves, but for our country”. If you have any questions at all feel free to Email me or get a hold of me on Facebook.

Thank you again,

Sincerely James Hudson”
