The four fallen soldiers were Private Shaun Farrell, 23, from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan; Private Aidan Goulding, 23, from North Vancouver; Private Hayden Lykkemark, 19, from Langley, British Columbia; and Sergeant Morgan Wong, 26, from Edmonton.\n\nPrivate Farrell, diagnosed with dyslexia and Asperger's syndrome, overcame these challenges with remarkable determination to join the military. He was known for his intelligence and love for chess. Private Goulding, an exceptional athlete who left his job to join the Army, had aspired to work in Special Ops and CSIS. Private Lykkemark, known for his humor and quick wit, dreamed of a career in law enforcement. Sergeant Wong, a reservist and first responder, was loved for his kindness and commitment to his community. The Prime Minister and provincial leaders paid tribute to these soldiers, acknowledging their resilience, humor, and dedication to their country.",
