Jody Mitic was on his third tour overseas as a member of the Canadian forces when he stepped on a landmine. But on Wednesday morning, he once again breathed in the warm air of Kabul. Mitic had returned for the lighting of the ceremonial flame of the Invictus games — inside the stately Afghanistan Presidential Palace, marking the start a long journey home. “It makes sense that the Invictus Spirit Flame would be lit in Kabul. After all, this is where the lives of so many Canadian soldiers changed dramatically,” Mitic wrote in a release Wednesday morning.
