What does it mean to honour, commemorate – even celebrate our Canadian Armed Forces, who many call "heroes."

Walter Callaghan served as a health care administration officer with the Canadian Armed Forces for a decade and is currently in the final stages of completing his PhD in medical anthropology at the University of Toronto, focused on how veterans understand, explain, and make meaning of psychological distress.

He shares how Remembrance Day can be different for those on the inside - those who served and have also lost friends and colleagues both in battle and to suicide.
