- Corporal Benjamin Hertwig is a veteran of the War in Afghanistan, having served as a Reservist infantry from 2001-2008. Following his retirement from the Reserves, he began writing to process the trauma and grief he was faced with after coming back from Afghanistan.
- Bruce Moncur, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, was badly wounded in a friendly fire incident and medically released from the army. At first, Moncur wanted nothing to do with the army and cut himself off from his former comrades. Years later, during a trip to visit Canadian First and Second World War battle sites, Moncur realized that his connection to other veterans, including those who served in other wars, is strong and ongoing.
- Jonathon Reid’s father, John, was captured by the Japanese and spent nearly four years as a prisoner of war. He returned home damaged, and later largely abandoned his family, including Jonathon and his brother when they were young boys.
- John Barnes was wounded during Operation Medusa in Afghanistan in 2006 and later diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. He sought help because he wanted to be a better grandfather.
