Cornwall Ontario – In support of the long anticipated release of the Friends of Vets Documentary “Breaking the Silence”, the group is hosting a roast beef dinner with all the trimmings on Saturday, April 6th, 2013 to cover the associated costs with the making of the film. The Friends of Vets are pleased to announce that the documentary is near completion and the targeted date for launch is mid April.

The documentary exposes the most pressing issues that veterans, families and other military members, of all ages, are currently facing. The highlights of this documentary present the realities of daily struggles, social isolation, and the lack of public insight on this matter. Vice president of the Friends of Vets, Steven Forrest explains, “It is really all about what they go through, and the public isn’t really aware of all the mental, physical, and emotional aspects they go through. It’s really an eye opening experience”.
