Honouring Service & Celebrating the Next Chapter 🇨🇦🏁

Please join us in congratulating Josh Snider, Operation Motorsport beneficiary, on his retirement from the Canadian Armed Forces this week!

Josh has served his country with pride since 2014 as a member of 3 PPCLI, deploying both domestically and overseas. Throughout his military career, his passion for motorsport never wavered—whether it was wrenching on snowmobiles, tuning trucks, or jumping into a wide range of racing disciplines, Josh has always thrived in the adrenaline and camaraderie of the motorsport community.

From 2022–2023, Josh was a vital part of the Operation Motorsport family, serving as our official photographer across the SRO, IMSA, and FEL paddocks. He beautifully captured the essence of our mission—telling the stories of our beneficiaries and documenting the heart of the paddock. He also brought his talents to Rilli Racing, Gradient Racing, and worked alongside motorsport photographer Brian Cleary, sharpening his creative craft and always finding new ways to see the motorsport world through his lens.

Josh has a unique gift for connecting with people, but his true love was getting creative with the car shots—and it showed.

Thank you for your service, Josh. We’re proud of what you’ve accomplished in and out of uniform, and we’re excited to see what comes next in your motorsport journey. 🫡📷🏎️

Happy 250th birthday, U.S. Army. Our own Keith Gallagher, Brigadier General, U.S. Army, ret. shares with us what the Army means to him.

“As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army I reflect on the significance that our Army has had on our nation. From the fierce fighting leading to victory in the Revolutionary War to the beaches of Normandy to the jungles of Vietnam to our most recent wars in the Middle East, our Army was there. My dad met my mom in post-war Germany & together made a family in the Army completing a 30-year career. I too made a career in the Army, raising a family of five, moving 25 times, seeing radical transformation & learning & growing because of great NCOs & senior officers

“During my entire career, the Army embraced change & developed new TTPs (tactics, techniques & procedures) to effect military operations, weapons systems, navigation tools, surveillance & in my field, medical. Soldiers always perfected their craft & employed every avenue to win the battle while also protecting their fellow Soldiers. In 2005, I witnessed the first ever trauma registry in Iraq that captured trauma data & transformed care with several new practice guidelines & adoption of a single tourniquet on the battlefield—all advances that saved lives.

“Still, the one factor in all of this was the Soldier—the one who never changed & exhibited true character & our Army values on & off the battlefield. I will always remember the Army culture to leave no one behind & to maintain a “can-do” attitude in maintaining the highest standards. I am awfully proud to have been part of this great institution & will always support the Army today, tomorrow & forever. Happy 250th Birthday, U.S. Army.”

We’d like to take a moment to recognize Casey Soble, whose DWD service for the RCAF was today. Former beneficiary Brent O’Connor attended as friend (and #OpMo brother) & shared these words from us with him.

“As you hang up your uniform for the last time, we want to take a moment—not just to recognize your incredible service, but to celebrate the person behind the rank. You’ve worn the uniform of the RCAF with pride & professionalism, but it’s the way you carried yourself—with humility, quiet strength, & unwavering integrity—that truly stands out…At Operation Motorsport, we often talk about team, identity & purpose. But you didn’t just talk about those things—you lived them. Whether you were guiding someone through a tough transition or lending your time & heart to our mission, you showed up. Fully. Authentically. And always with others in mind.

“Your presence has left a mark on this community that goes far beyond your service record. You’ve made us better—individually & as a team. And while others will miss seeing you in uniform, we know your next chapter will be just as impactful, because that same heart & purpose will carry forward into everything you do.

“So, from all of us—your Operation Motorsport family, your teammates & everyone lucky enough to have served beside you—thank you. For your service. For your trust. And for being someone we could always count on.

We’re proud of you, Casey. And we can’t wait to see what’s next.”

With deep respect and gratitude,
Your Operation Motorsport Family
