Follow me along The Road To Valour

This is where my blog posts will appear. They will be related to what is near to my heart and to what this project is all about – for the most part. Most of the posts will be written by me, but from time to time I will have guest bloggers post on subjects near to them. If you have a topic that you think bears discussion, let me know. I can try to post on it, or I can hand my pen over to you for your insight.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

    There are stories in our military history that deserve more attention—not because they are quiet, but because they are profound. As a member of a military engineer family, one name stands above all others in Canadian history: Coulson Norman Mitchell. To this day, he remains the only Canadian military engineer to be awarded the Victoria Cross—our nation’s…

  • 50 Days Out: The Road Ahead and Those Who Ride It With Us

    Fifty days from now, I will roll out from the start line of The Road To Valour ! As I sit and contemplate what lies ahead — the mountains that must be climbed, the vast open spaces of the prairies that seem to stretch on forever — I would be lying if I said I…
