Very interesting topic guys! I am in the Canadian Army and my spouse is in the Canadian Navy. The Canadian Military may be small in size, but it is quite strong in force! We are well known all over the world for our peacekeeping missions, and it is very well known we are in Afghanistan. We are ALL trained extensively and for all conditions. We train closely with the U.S. Military, and that's including for our mission in Afghanistan. Canadians are very proud of their military, and are honoured by the ones who have lost their lives. We have a main highway in Ontario, Canada that is named in honour of Canadian Soldiers, and when a fallen soldier comes home from Afghanistan the plane is met with family and friends. There is a ceremony performed for the soldier. Then there's a huge parade of vehicles that travel with the soldier on this highway. Hundreds of people line up on the overpasses and to the side of the highways saluting these heroes. Fire departments line up with their trucks and wearing their dress uniform, police officers do the same and just our regular folk all come out to honour every one of our fallen heroes. I have pictures but don't know how to post them! But I just thought I would share that with you!
