==Marc Diab==
Marc Diab was born on 23 September 1986 in Ain Ebel, Lebanon to Hani Diab and Jihan Falah. He had two older sisters, Jessica and Maya. He and his family moved to Canada as immigrants in 2000, and Marc became a Canadian citizen on 11 June 2004 and lived in Mississauga, Ontario. He was very active in his community and took part in many church and youth projects. Marc fell in love with Mary Barakat, a girl he had met in Lebanon and planned to propose to as soon as he returned home from his assignment.
Despite being the sole son in his family, he decided to serve in the Canadian Forces. While on leave, he made a point of coming back to Mississauga and taking part in youth camps inspiring the participating kids, and becoming a role model and a mentor to them. He also took a lot of video footage and photographs everywhere he went. When he left for Afghanistan, a Facebook account was created in his support with 1700 members and supporters. He died on March 8, 2009 after his vehicle hit an Improvised explosive device (IED) in Shah Wali Kot district, Kandahar province. He was the 112th Canadian soldier to die in Afghanistan. He was just 22 years old and only weeks away from coming home.
There was a huge outpour of grief and support from his community and friends and fellow soldiers when he died. Trooper Marc Diab Memorial Park was inaugurated in June 2010 in Mississauga, Ontario in his memory.〔(Mississauga.com: Mark Diab Memorial unites community )〕 His family and relatives also opened a Lebanese restaurant ''Madameek'' in his memory, just next to his base in Petawawa. The restaurant contains memorabilia that once belonged to Diab.〔(Canadian Army Forces website: Lebanese restaurant opens for fallen soldier )〕
