Remembrance Moments Canada’s Role in Afghanistan
September 11, 2001
The world is shocked
The war against terrorism begins
Canada joins the international response
Our largest deployment since the Second World War
More than 40,000 Canadians serve
Defending the international fleet
Fighting a brutal enemy
Overthrowing the Taliban
Training an army
Rebuilding a nation
158 Canadian men and women lose their lives
Over 2,000 are wounded
Many more suffer the psychological scars
Fighting for peace, freedom and human rights
We salute their service
And sacrifice
