Canadian Forces Base Griesbach was a major military facility in Edmonton from the early 1950s to the late 1990s. During that period thousands of Canada's military personnel were based here in Edmonton. Many saw duty in locations such as Korea, Cyprus, Bosnia, and Afghanistan, and with Canada's other peacekeeping missions throughout the world. Valour is the most esteemed military attribute, extreme bravery marked by a willingness to continue on effectively in the face of a high risk of injury or death. So highly is the quality prized that the word was chosen by Queen Victoria herself for inscription on the Victoria Cross. But the qualities that are reflected in valour in battle are inculcated in military personnel from the very start of their service, dedication to duty, determination, selflessness, and a mental coolness that enables the person to cope with extreme pressure and adversity.
