Free Movie Screening Event “Fallen Heroes: Their Journey Home!”
More than 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces members served in Afghanistan over the 14-year campaign. Very few Canadians understand why we were in Afghanistan and why it was important, yet it was Canada’s longest war. Fallen Heroes is the template for a 10-part documentary series on the war in Afghanistan preserving this little-known history for future generations.
Plus de 40 000 membres des Forces armées canadiennes ont servi en Afghanistan au cours de cette campagne qui a duré 14 ans. Très peu de Canadiens comprennent pourquoi nous étions en Afghanistan et pourquoi c’était important, alors que c’était la plus longue guerre du Canada. « Héros tombés » est le concept d’une série documentaire en dix parties sur la guerre en Afghanistan, qui préserve cette histoire moins connue pour les générations futures.
RMC Trailblazers: A Conversation with Simon Mailloux about Leadership, Adversity and Resilience
When asked what advice he has for current Officer Cadets, Simon remarks with a chuckle that he well remembers being on the receiving end of such advice. He offers that Cadets should make the most of their time at RMC; that they should read more (“I see Officer Cadets rolling their eyes saying “Ah no, another one that wants me to read more’”); and most importantly that they need to find their support networks both back home and around themselves at the College. “When I got injured, the first people that sent emails and wanted to see me and wanted to support me were my friends from RMC… They were there for me right away… At Kandahar Airfield, in the Role 2 hospital we have there, I didn’t know it, because I was unconscious, but one of my good friends from RMC actually was deployed there as a logistician officer and she came to visit me… So even right out of surgery, the first person that held my hand and helped was somebody from RMC. So, you know, that’s what the College is about. Be there for each other.”
