It was an important milestone not only for the producers of the film but for Col. Mark Gasparotto, editor of the book, titled the same, that served as the inspiration for the documentary.
"I found it quite poignant. It took me back to Kandahar in 2006, to when we were all together. When I first saw it it was quite emotional for me," said Gasparotto on seeing the documentary for the first time.

The families of some recently deceased veterans may not be getting the help paying for funerals that they deserve, an internal government audit has found, prompting a renewed commitment to outreach by the federal government.
The Veterans Affairs audit was looking at a program that helps pay the costs of burying veterans who died because of their military service or whose survivors can't afford a proper funeral.
Since 2013, the government has helped pay for around 1,200 such funerals each year at a cost of around $7 million.

An audit by Veterans Affairs has found tens of thousands of veterans' graves in cemeteries across the country are in a state of disrepair.
The culprit? A lack of federal funding.
Veterans Affairs is responsible for maintaining the graves of more than 200,000 veterans buried by the federal government in Canada.
