Colonel Pat Stogran is an excellent choice to be Canada's first veterans ombudsman.
Given the current weak non-representation of vetarans' issues by New Brunswick's Greg Thompson, the appointment of Stogran, a retired colonel who previously served as field commander of the 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry in Afghanistan in 2002 is indeed welcome news.

Stogran is vowing to "go to the wall" for those who have served in the military as he prepares to begin the job of addressing their concerns. "I view my role strictly as the veterans' champion," Stogran told CBC News. "I take on veterans' causes and go to the wall."
Sounds a whole lot better than the BS we have come to expect from the Tory Minister.
