The story of each Canadian veteran is an integral part of the growing and changing face of the veteran population. For the past three generations of military service, the deployments and terms of service have changed. The type of service, the type of wars and the dangers faced are all different.
In order to assist service men and women with their transition back into civilian life, it is important to know what they have been through. By collecting the stories of over 700 veterans along the ride, the country can gain a vision of the best ways to help, assist and support the transition.
Families of veterans can gain the realization that they are not alone in their situation and be provided with avenues to understand how different their Mother or Father may be when they return from their service. A veteran’s story can connect with another soldier who thinks they are alone in their fight to reconnect with the people in their community. A veteran’s story can help them understand they are not alone and that they can find the help they need.
