Caporal-chef Michael Touchette
Garde \u00e0 pied du gouverneur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le caporal-chef Mike Touchette s\u2019est \u00e9teint paisiblement, entour\u00e9 de sa famille, le 31 juillet 2010, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 61 ans.
Le caporal-chef Touchette \u00e9tait soldat d\u2019infanterie au sein de la Garde \u00e0 pied du gouverneur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral (GGFG), un r\u00e9giment de la R\u00e9serve des Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes. Il \u00e9tait \u00e9galement mortieriste et, depuis longtemps, tireur, entra\u00eeneur, mentor et recruteur au sein de l\u2019\u00e9quipe de tir de combat du r\u00e9giment.
Plus t\u00f4t dans sa vie, Mike s\u2019\u00e9tait enr\u00f4l\u00e9 dans l\u2019arm\u00e9e am\u00e9ricaine et avait effectu\u00e9 deux missions au Vietnam en tant que monteur de lignes, puis comme patrouilleur \u00e0 longue port\u00e9e. Il a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 des combats au Vietnam, ce qui lui a laiss\u00e9 un syndrome de stress post-traumatique (SSPT) pour le reste de sa vie. Mike \u00e9tait reconnaissant de la cr\u00e9ation de l\u2019Association canadienne des anciens combattants du Vietnam, qu\u2019il consid\u00e9rait comme l\u2019un des moyens qui l\u2019avaient aid\u00e9 \u00e0 surmonter son traumatisme.
Au sein du GGFG, le caporal-chef Touchette a trouv\u00e9 sa vocation au sein de l\u2019\u00e9quipe de tir, o\u00f9 il a form\u00e9 et encadr\u00e9 de nombreux membres de la Garde. Il excellait dans cette discipline, et il n\u2019\u00e9tait pas rare, lors de comp\u00e9titions locales, nationales ou internationales, de le voir aider les concurrents d\u2019autres unit\u00e9s alors m\u00eame que nous \u00e9tions en comp\u00e9tition contre eux.
Mike \u00e9tait un p\u00e8re de famille aimant, comme en t\u00e9moignaient l\u2019affection qu\u2019il portait \u00e0 sa conjointe Val\u00e9rie, d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e deux ans apr\u00e8s lui, et la pr\u00e9sence r\u00e9guli\u00e8re de ses enfants, Michelle et Sean, \u00e0 la salle d\u2019exercice de la place Cartier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans le cadre de son emploi civil, il \u00e9tait agent charg\u00e9 de l\u2019application des r\u00e8glements municipaux de la Ville d\u2019Ottawa (on l\u2019appelait \u00ab Green Hornet \u00bb \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque). On pouvait voir Mike en ville en train de d\u00e9livrer des contraventions, mais aussi de sensibiliser les citoyens aux r\u00e8gles de stationnement sans pour autant leur en infliger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Touchette nous manquera toujours \u00e9norm\u00e9ment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019\u00e9quipe \u00ab Old Guard \u00bb de la GGFGRA lui d\u00e9die sa course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VIVE LES GARDIENS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
