As an historian, it is rare that I write in the first person. However, after attending the ceremony for the opening of the International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) in Lincolnshire, England, in April 2018, I can think of no better way to relate that experience, since it was indeed a moving and personal event.

Five years ago, the year 2013 marked a low-point for Canada and NATO. According to NATO reports, the Conservatives had cut Canadian military spending to an all-time low, below one per cent of GDP.
