This weekend, veterans, their families and community members will come together at Regina Beach for Patricia's Howl, a three-day event honouring their service and remembering the 19 Canadians who lost their lives during the deployment. Jim Sinclair, retired corporal with the Royal Regina Rifles and deployed to Afghanistan in 2006, and Willy MacDonald, retired master warrant officer, recipient of the Star of Military Valour who was deployed to Afghanistan in 2006, join the show to talk about this special event and how you can get involved.
