Throwback to August\/September 2017 when the “Our Canada” magazine shared the moving story behind the Izzy Doll Initiative. This article beautifully captured the legacy of Master Corporal Mark (Izzy) Isfeld, a Canadian peacekeeper killed while serving with the 1 Combat Engineer Regiment serving in Croatia.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This “Cause for Applause” highlighted the incredible humanitarian spirit ignited by one soldier’s compassion and his mother’s love, a legacy that continues to touch lives globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you remember reading about how Mark was struck by the sight of a doll on a pile of rubble, reminding him of the childhoods lost to war? Share your memories or thoughts about the Izzy Doll Initiative on our Facebook page<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
