Calgary’s Kurdish community gathered Sunday to pay tribute to John Gallagher, a former Canadian soldier who lost his life while fighting the forces of ISIS.
Gallagher, who travelled half way around the world to fight as a member of the Kurdish military in Syria, was killed during an ISIS attack on Nov. 4, 2015. He was 32 years old.
John’s sister, Lily, was touched by Sunday’s tribute.
“It’s nice that people who never met him, people who felt he should be recognized, are here today and remembering him,” said Lily Gallagher.
Lily Gallagher says she grieves for her brother, but does not regret his decision to serve another army.
Gatherers at the ceremony believe John Gallagher will never receive the recognition he deserves because, unlike his fallen comrades, he did not die while serving the Canadian military.
Prior to joining the Kurdish military in April of 2015, Gallagher served in the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry.
