Between 9 and 17 May, 1992, Corporal Morin served with the 1st Battalion, Royal 22e Régiment Battle Group of the Canadian contingent of the United Nations Protection Force in Sarajevo. At that time, he volunteered for various evacuation and humanitarian assistance missions. In particular, he led several teams from shelters to the upper floors of a hotel where the Force's headquarters were located in order to recover documents and equipment, although the building was the continual target of mortar and small arms fire. His remarkable conduct and professionalism made it possible to stabilize a dangerous situation.
