Honoring Canada's Afghanistan Sacrifice | Canada News

Historica Canada drops a powerful new Heritage Minute honoring Captain Jonathan Snyder and the 40,000+ Canadians who served in Afghanistan—especially the 158 who didn’t make it home. Filmed at CFB Wainwright with veterans on set, the minute re-creates a deadly 2008 ambush where Snyder’s team was trapped in a U-shaped firestorm. With authentic uniforms, tactics, and pyrotechnics, it delivers a visceral, respectful tribute to his courage, leadership, and efforts to build trust with Afghan communities—even learning Pashto. Set to air before Remembrance Day, this is a sobering, stirring reminder of sacrifice and service. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
