We sent 40,000 Canadian troops serving over 13 years on the front lines in Afghanistan, in Kandahar, as one example, 158 of those soldiers paid the ultimate sacrifice. One of our diplomats paid the ultimate sacrifice. Thousands more were injured. 30 of our soldiers won the American Bronze Star. For service in combat, for courage in combat. It's an extraordinary contribution. For liberty, for freedom, for human rights, defending the United States, defending Canadian values. (03:48–03:54)
