On the ten-year anniversary of the attack on Parliament Hill, several politicians honoured the memory of the 24-year-old reservist from Hamilton who was shot and killed while standing guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa.

On Oct. 22, 2014, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was shot twice in the back while standing guard on ceremonial sentry duty. While six Canadians rushed to help Cirillo, he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
