Ten years ago today, Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan came to an end. More than 40,000 Canadians served in the region, making it the largest deployment of our troops since the Second World War. The conflict lasted more than 12 years—the longest in Canada's history. Today, pay your respects to those who served in this challenging mission, and remember those who didn’t come home. 🔗: https://ow.ly/yTNn50QRahj #CanadaRemembers | Canada Remembers

Today, we take a moment to remember the last Canadian soldiers who returned from Afghanistan 9 years ago in 2014. More than 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces members served in the 12-year campaign. The war claimed 165 Canadian lives – 158 soldiers, 7 civilians. Though the service men and women who served in Afghanistan are back home, the psychological impacts of the war remain for many.
