Veterans’ Week began on Friday, leading up to Remembrance Day.  Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says, “This year marks the 30th anniversary of the end of the Gulf war, the first conflict where women in the Canadian Armed Forces served in combat roles. It’s also the 10th anniversary of the end of Canada’s combat mission in Afghanistan, one of our country’s largest military efforts, where more than 40,000 Canadians in uniform – as well as a large number of civilians and government officials were deployed.” He adds that the country will always owe a debt of gratitude for the tremendous commitment of all Canadian veterans.
