Every Story Remembered. Every Legacy Honoured.
Preserving the lives of WWI & WWII veterans through Tribute and Legacy Books.
At Memory and Valour, I believe history lives in the stories of our families. My mission is to preserve those stories with care, dignity, and accuracy so future generations can truly know the people who came before them.
As an author, researcher, and host of the Memory and Valour Podcast, I work to bring Canada’s military history to life one story, one family, and one forgotten name at a time. Through long‑form research, interviews, and narrative storytelling, I aim to make remembrance accessible, personal, and deeply human.
My advocacy is rooted in a simple conviction: remembrance is not a ceremony we perform once a year. It is an ongoing responsibility to honour the lives, sacrifices, and legacies of those who served. Whether through writing, podcasting, or public engagement, I am committed to protecting the memory of Canadian veterans and ensuring their stories are never lost to time.
Keep history alive, because where memory endures, valour lives on.

Feedback from Mr. Don Levy, son of Lieutenant Mike Levy regarding the Memory and Valour podcast episode: Once A Patricia, Always A Patricia:
“Hello Samantha
I am one of Mike Levy’s sons. I came across your recent podcast on the PPCLI and wanted to offer my appreciation to you for the work you are doing to preserve the memories of our military veterans and by extension Canadian history. I look forward to reading your book on the Patricias and your future projects.
Don Levy”“…You have given me knowledge that my family never told me about. Blown away. Emotional and so very, very thankful to you and all the work you put into this.” ~ John McDonald
