A Calgary-area veteran is excited about a new tribute to an important part of Canada’s military history.Along with serving in the Canadian military, Sanheim has also been working as an actor since 1994. The story is based on real events during World War Two, as Canadian troops played a major part in liberating Holland from Nazi occupation.“It was a couple of guys trying to make skirmishes to make the Germans think that there was a whole bunch of them attacking, when in fact it was only two guys running around at night,” Sanheim said.“So instead of rolling tanks in, if we can push the Germans out of town, we’re going to save the whole town.
“Doing the opening prayer, doing the closing prayer at a lot of ceremonial stuff,” Sanheim said. “Providing peer support for veterans who are going through post-traumatic stress.”“It’s very exciting, because I’m ex-military, joined the military in 1990, in until about 2006, went to serve in Croatia when I was 20,” Sanheim said. “To play a senior leader in a World War Two movie was wonderful.”“To show young people what Canadian soldiers did when they were 17, 18 years old,” Sanheim said.
