On this day, 28 February
The Gulf War of the early 1990s was a struggle that is well-known to many. More than 4,000 Canadian Armed Forces members served in the Persian Gulf region in 1990-1991 as part of the international Coalition of countries that came together to drive the invading forces of Iraq out of Kuwait. In the aftermath of the conflict, Canadians would continue to serve with peacekeeping and embargo-enforcement efforts in the region for several years.
On this day, 28 February, we remember our Forces service and sacrifice in the Gulf War.
