Steve Gregory was the driving force behind Operation Husky–2013, a tribute to the sacrifices made by Canadian troops who took part in the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943, codenamed Operation HUSKY. He tirelessly spearheaded numerous commemorative events, including a march across the island that followed in the footsteps of the soldiers who fought there 70 years earlier. The successful project shone a light on an often-overlooked chapter in Canadian military history.
