Summary
Canada’s long-dormant Victoria Cross may finally be awarded after 30 years — a historic moment sparked by a push to honor extraordinary bravery in Afghanistan. An independent review board is now set to examine cases, including that of Private Jess Larochelle, who faced down a deadly insurgent attack while grievously wounded. With thousands rallying behind the cause and top military figures like General Hillier backing the effort, this review aims to ensure Canada’s highest honor reflects true valor — a standard already met by soldiers in other Commonwealth nations. The board’s credibility and fairness will be key as it determines if any Canadian hero deserves this rare, life-defining recognition.
