On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, one of the most pivotal moments of the 2nd World War, host Alex Pierson is joined by someone who wants to make sure the stories of our veterans are forever remembered. Eric Brunt, a videographer and documentarian has a goal to interview, document and properly archive the stories of Canada's few remaining WWII veterans. A goal that is extremely important, but also has a very tight deadline as the veterans are all either entering or surpassing 100 years of age. Alex and Eric talk about why he chose to take on this increasingly time-sensitive task, how he got these veterans to open up about the darkest times in their lives and why all Canadians can benefit from hearing their stories.
