Step into the boots of history and experience the legacy of one of the most legendary Allied units of the Second World War. On November 1st, 2025, the Airdrie Public Library will proudly host Echoes of Valor: WWII Living History Experience, a powerful educational event honoring the bravery and sacrifice of the First Special Service Force—the elite joint Canadian-American commando unit known as the “Devil’s Brigade.”
The main floor of the library will be transformed into an immersive exhibit featuring authentic uniforms, equipment, and interactive displays. Historical interpreters will bring the era to life through engaging storytelling, demonstrations, and hands-on learning opportunities.
