Military Unit Mottos: Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Note: For convenience's sake (and owing that the original article was becoming large by Wikipedia standards), the original article Military Unit Mottos: Canada was broken down along the lines of the specific branch of service in the Canadian Forces (i.e. naval forces, land forces, air forces, joint service forces and cadet services). Listed below are the personnel branches of the Canadian Forces, whose members could potentially serve in any part of Canada's military. The links following the list will guide readers to a specific branch of service.
