Message from His Excellency
the Right Honourable Governor General and
Commander-in-Chief of Canada David Johnston
I invite you to join Sharon and me in recognizing and in honouring those who have
served with such distinction and dedication in Afghanistan. Over the years, the
extraordinary strength, sense of duty and courage of our men and women in uniform
have touched us deeply. And let us not forget their loved ones at home, who made
sacrifices of their own throughout this difficult mission. On behalf of all Canadians, I
thank them all profusely, as commander-in-chief, as governor general and as a proud
Canadian.

Message from the Prime Minister of Canada
the Right Honourable Stephen Harper
Laureen and I join today in honouring the valour, strength and sacrifices of all those
who served in Afghanistan, including the more than 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces
members. We also thank the families that were their strength back home. Your
collective sacrifices are a worthy chapter in our country’s long and proud history of
fighting for a safer, better world for everyone. We are forever proud and grateful.

Message from the Minister of National Defence
the Honourable Robert Douglas Nicholson
I would like to personally thank all Canadian Armed Forces members and their
families, as well as our civilian staff both at home and abroad, for their impeccable hard
work and commitment. The Government takes great pride in the work of the CAF and
all that you have achieved in Afghanistan; accomplishments which have been earned
from great sacrifice. I believe I can speak for all Canadians when I say how immensely
proud we are of the work accomplished in Afghanistan as you continue to uphold
Canada’s outstanding reputation on the international stage.

Message from the Chief of Defence Staff
General Thomas J. Lawson
Canadian Armed Forces members leave Afghanistan confident they have helped
Afghans to reclaim their country from terrorism and helped them to provide for
their own security. The last chapter of our mission in Afghanistan is not yet written
and it will not be for us to write. That task will fall to the Afghans themselves. Our
experiences in Afghanistan, built over more than twelve years, have made us even
stronger and they have been woven into the very fabric of the Canadian Armed Forces.
We can look back on our contributions and achievements in Afghanistan with pride,
hard earned and dearly paid, and know that we have made a difference.

Introduction
The National Day of Honour
The National Day of Honour was announced by the Prime Minister and declared
by Royal Proclamation on March 18, 2014.
It is an opportunity for Canadians to honour the valour, strength and sacrifices
of all those who served in Afghanistan over the last 12 years, including the more
than 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces members who helped to combat terrorism,
stabilize Afghanistan and rebuild the country’s capacity to provide its own
security.
With Canada’s help, thousands of members of the Afghan National Security
Forces have been trained, hundreds of kilometres of roads have been built or
repaired, dozens of schools have been restored, thousands of teachers trained,
and millions of children have been vaccinated against diseases like polio or
measles.
But these great achievements did not come without a price. Our country lost
158 Canadian Forces personnel, one diplomat and a number of civilians in
this mission to make the world a safer place. These were sons and daughters,
brothers and sisters, friends and family. All of them loved by those who knew
them, and by their country. All of them heroes.
We are proud to be taking the opportunity to honour all who served in
Afghanistan as well the families that were their strength back home, by
organizing several events leading up to the National Day of Honour on May 9th,
including: the Soldier On Afghanistan Relay, a parade in Ottawa, two minutes of
silence, a fly-by salute, displaying the Afghanistan Memorial Vigil, and a number
of events across the country.
12
Soldier On Afghanistan Relay
The Soldier On Afghanistan Relay for the injured personnel is symbolic of the
resolve of Canadians to persevere over hardship. The relay is also a symbol of the
strength of our Canadian Armed Forces and of our supporting communities.
A team of 19 personnel from Soldier On are carrying the last Canadian flag
flown in Afghanistan in a specially-built baton. For our soldiers who risk their
lives, the flag represents pride and commitment.
The relay team ran through communities between Trenton and Ottawa. This sixday relay, which took place from May 4-9, was completed by 19 individuals who
were injured in Afghanistan (16 Canadian Armed Forces members, two Royal
Canadian Mounted Police Officers and one employee from the Department of
Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development).
Day 1 – Canadian Forces Base Trenton to Napanee (Route 2)
Day 2 – Napanee to Kingston (Route 2)
Day 3 – Canadian Forces Base Kingston to Perth (Route 10)
Day 4 – Perth to Kanata (Route 10)
Day 5 – Kanata to Gatineau City Hall and Ottawa City Hall
Day 6 – Beechwood Cemetery to Parliament Hill (via Rideau Hall)
At their arrival on Parliament Hill, on May 9, 2014 for the National Day of
Honour, the team will pass the baton to the last Task Force Commander who will
present it to the Chief of Defence Staff, who will then present the baton to the
Prime Minister of Canada.

National Day of Honour Parade
The National Day of Honour Parade will begin near the Canadian War Museum
on Wellington Street and end on Parliament Hill.
The National Day of Honour Parade is comprised of members of the Canadian
Armed Forces with a Guard of Honour of 300 personnel and combined bands
(Central and Royal 22e Régiment, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Pipes and
Drums, and the Correctional Service Canada Pipes and Drums).
Men and women from all units that served in Afghanistan will participate in
the parade. Veterans and civilians that have been involved in protecting our
interests and defending freedom around the world will also be involved in the
National Day of Honour Parade.
A large number of youth are also attending the National Day of Honour and
engaging in this important day. In addition, a Youth Remember Canada’s Mission
in Afghanistan online learning feature and further material for educators and
youth organizations is available at www.canada.ca.
Moment of Silence
Following the National Day of Honour Parade, a gunshot will indicate the start of
the moment of silence and Canadians across the country will keep two minutes
of silence to reflect upon the sacrifices made during the mission. The national
moment of silence will be observed at 13:30 Eastern Daylight Time across the
country.
14
Fly-By
The National Day of Honour will also feature two fly-bys operated by the Royal
Canadian Air Force. A fly-by is a traditional and ceremonial form of aerial salute.
They serve to show respect and they occur on national days and on special
occasions and anniversaries.
In Canada, fly-bys are done annually over Parliament Hill on Canada Day and
after the national anthem at each Grey Cup event. Fly-bys are also conducted
to mark the end of military missions such the end of Operation Palladium in
Bosnia in 2005 and Operation Mobile in Libya in 2011.
Today’s fly-by will be broken into two segments of fixed-wing and rotary wing.
They will be made of the numerous aircraft that provided support during the
Afghanistan conflict from 2002 until the closure of Camp Mirage (Canada’s
support base in the Persian Gulf region) in 2010. During this period, Royal
Canadian Air Forces aircraft logged over 22,000 flying hours in over 4,500
missions, and carried over 78,000,000 pounds of cargo and over 244,000
passengers in support of the Canadian mission in Afghanistan.
Recognizing the need for additional air power support in Afghanistan, Joint
Task Force Afghanistan Air Wing (JTF-A Air Wing) was formed in Kandahar
in December 2008. The Air Wing was the first Canadian air force formation of
its size and type deployed to an area of armed conflict since the Second World
War. Its mandate was to control all Royal Canadian Air Forces’ aircraft arriving
in, and departing from, the theatre of operations, to provide critical air combat,
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support, and to provide strategic
and tactical air lift support to Canadians and their allies operating in Southeast
Asia.
The fly-by will be of aircrafts that served in Afghanistan such as;
•
A CC150 (Airbus): The Airbus was part of the Strategic Airlift
Detachment tasked with medical evacuation, sustainment and re­
supply, rapid delivery of operationally required items and movement
of personnel. During Operation APOLLO, the Strategic Airlift
Detachment moved approximately 3.5 million kilograms of cargo
and more than 2,300 passengers. The Airbus made its first landing
to Kandahar Airport in 2011 in support of the last Canadian combat
troops in the province.

•
Two C130 (Hercules): In July 2006, a Hercules began delivering
supplies to troops by airdrop—the first such resupply mission
conducted since the Korean War (1950-1953). The airdrop supported
some 10,000 Afghan and coalition troops deployed in Helmand, Zabul,
Oruzgan and Kandahar provinces, and demonstrated the importance of
air power to mission success in Afghanistan.
•
A CP-140 Aurora Maritime Patrol aircraft: CP-140s were also
employed in Operation APOLLO in the Persian Gulf from late 2001
to mid-2003, where they flew 500 air patrol sorties as part of Canada’s
contribution to the international campaign against terrorism.
•
A CC177 (Globemaster): Canada’s four CC-177 Globemaster III
strategic airlifters were delivered in 2007-2008. The newly purchased
CC-177 Globemaster III strategic airlifters were quickly incorporated
into the Royal Canadian Air Force and almost immediately began
participating in strategic airlift operations in and out of theatre.
•
Two CH-146 Griffon helicopters: With the purchase of six D-model
Chinooks, eight CH-146 Griffon escort helicopters were deployed to
Afghanistan, to be part of the Joint Task Force Afghanistan Air Wing
(JTF-A Air Wing) and act as armed escorts.
•
A CH147 (Chinook): Six D-model CH-147 Chinook helicopters
were purchased from the United States in 2008 and, remarkably, made
their debut flights as Canadian aircraft a week after being transferred
to Canada’s Air Wing. The CH-147F Chinook flying on May 9 is an
advanced, multi-mission, medium to heavy-lift helicopter and is part
of 450 Tactical Helicopter Squadron, under the command of 1 Wing
Kingston, Ontario, and based in Petawawa, Ontario. In total, 14 of the
15 helicopters have been delivered with the last delivery scheduled for
June, 2014.
Afghanistan Memorial Vigil
The Afghanistan Memorial Vigil commemorates the hard work, dedication and
sacrifice of Armed Forces members during Canada’s mission in Afghanistan, and
recognizes the support of military families, friends, and all Canadians.
The Vigil consists of 190 plaques from KAF Cenotaph representing the
Fallen (158 Canadian military, one diplomat, one reporter, one contractor
and 40 Americans) along with information and artifacts incorporated into a
reconfigurable, mobile display.
The Vigil will be in the Hall of Honour, in the Centre Block on Parliament
Hill for the National Day of Honour, May 9, 2014. The Hall of Honour is a
ceremonial hall that is used for state occasions, parliamentary events, and formal
processions.
