15737 Bryan Brulotte, CMR 1987 announces his retirement
“It is with great pride that I announce my retirement from the Canadian Army. My military journey began in 1978, with the Cadet movement, and spanned four units, several postings, many deployments, four continents, and countless challenges. Throughout this time, (46 years) I had the privilege of meeting hundreds of lifelong friends, and colleagues whose support and camaraderie are priceless. I would like to give a special shoutout to the:
– Royal Canadian Hussars,
– Le College Militaire Royal,
– Le Royal 22e Regiment, and
– The Governor General’s Foot Guards.
For the past decade, I have been privileged to serve and support the GGFG as their Honorary Colonel. I am incredibly grateful for the friendships, support, advice, and encouragement I have received throughout the years. I continue to hold the members of the Canadian Armed Forces in high esteem and will advocate for them to the best of my ability.
A final thank you to my wife and family, your unwavering support has been essential.
To all, Godspeed.
