Please keep me moving, this coin is not for your collection. It would like to travel the World and have a picture taken with Canadian Battlefield Memorials, Canadian Forces Bases and locations where Canadians are deployed.
This coin is to show that we Canadians support and remember their sacrifices every day.
Every day Canadian Forces members put their lives at risk, often leaving their families and homes behind to courageously and selflessly serve in our nation's military, defending Canada's values and contributing to international peace and security.
More than 3,000 Canadian soldiers, sailors and Air Force personnel are deployed overseas on operational missions. On any given day, about 8,000 Canadian Forces members - one third of our deployable force - are preparing for, engaged in or returning from an overseas mission.
As of April 2006, Canadian Forces are in operations throughout the world, as part of Canada's obligations to NATO and the United Nations, as well as in support of its international allies.
Current deployments are:
Central Asia 2001-present
2300 troops in Afghanistan, Canadian contributions to NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan
Balkans 1990s-present
~100 troops Part of NATO force in Bosnia
As well as these deployments, small detachments of Canadian military are based in different countries for assistance and logistical work.
