The War of 1812 is re-lived where the most bloody Siege of Fort Erie Canada took place on August 15, 1814.
The setting begins with the capture and occupation of the Fort by the invading American troops. The battle sorties are highlighted by a vigorous display of actual musket and cannon fire from both sides culminating with the destructive explosion that originally destroyed about 25% of the Fort. The special effects to simulate this disastrous battle for the British Forces and the Fort is one that all spectators will never forget.

Master Corporal Steve Krsnik (26 years old) and Private Sarah Breker (20 years old) from the 1st Battalion (Delta and Alpha Company) of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry based in Edmonton, Alberta discuss Canada's military role against Al-Qaeda who have taken a pledge of loyalty to Osama bin Laden. A war where (at the time of this taping) 106 of their fellow soldiers have died in support of the operation. Most casualties were from hostile circumstances due to explosive devises or landmines; rocket-propelled grenades; small arms and mortar fire; and suicide bomb attacks. We wish Steve and Sarah; all Canadian Military and our Allies a safe return home to their families. Support Our Troops ! GOD BLESS !
