Welcome to NATO Veterans

Welcome you have reached the site of the "NATO Veterans Organization" the first in Canada and we are here to honour our Armed Forces that have served in the past in Europe and the Balkans and are still serving now in Afghanistan under NATO

The serving in Afghanistan has kind of stirred us up, as they are not recognized any where in Canada but they should be. This NATO Veterans Organization is also the first in Canada that is coming together and is a group of all NATO Vets be they have served in the Navy at Sea, Army in Germany, Bosnia Afghanistan, Air Force in France, Afghanistan and there are even more places

Our second Aim is to honour our 570 members of the Navy, Army and Air Force. that are buried in Europe as well as the 927 Dependents since WW II or since 1951. They are buried in 44 cemetery’s and we have them listed with us and you can visit their website at:
Europe’s Cemetery and Personal Gravesites

You will be surprised of the numbers and their ages. You can search by name and place of the Cemetery. This is a good site for families that have lost their off spring both military and dependents

However we sadly have to say that since 1993 we have lost many again in Bosnia and Afghanistan and the honour roll lists many Canadian Soldiers and 1 Diplomat while engaged in a wartime situation as part of the: NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION ( NATO )
