Tout au long de son parcours, d'abord en tant que vicaire de la paroisse Saint-Joseph de Drummondville puis à titre d'aumônier catholique dans les Forces armées canadiennes pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et la guerre de Corée, il a su incarner la bonté, le dévouement, la générosité et la fidélité à des convictions profondes et aussi inspirer de l'admiration et du respect à tous ceux qui l'ont côtoyé. Il m'a donc semblé tout naturel de rendre hommage à mon oncle Rosaire et de faire connaître cet homme exceptionnel au destin tragique. "Plants are still like people

Descriptions of violence. 2006.Out standing in the field: a memoir of military service
Par Sandra Perron. 2017
Throughout her military training, Sandra Perron was repeatedly identified as top of her class, but was also subject to "pranks"…
that included stripping her uniform of insignia (which is a not-so-subtle way of informing her that her platoon did not have her back). The lessons she learned, however, weren't all negative - through several deployments, including Bosnia and Croatia, she forged lasting friendships with men and women. Her memoir shows that while the Canadian military did eventually let her down, she did not do the same to her fellow soldiers or her country; it also shows that the spirit of a true hero cannot be bent or broken.
