We die twice.

The first time when we take our final breath. 

The second time when someone speaks our name for the last time.

In 2020, Daniel Yaassoub walked through an Edmonton cemetery and saw what too many Canadians miss: weathered stones, fading names, forgotten heroes who once answered their country's call. 

Working alongside the Edmonton Police Cadets, Dan started something simple but profound—cleaning veterans' grave markers. Not to make them look new. But to make them visible again. To speak their names. To delay that second death.  

We've now restored over 22,000 headstones across the Greater Edmonton Area, with each one representing a Canadian who served, who sacrificed, who deserves to be remembered. 

Our goal is bold: to ensure every Canadian veteran's headstone, in every cemetery across this country, receives the dignity it—and they—have earned.
