Angela MacIsaac, whose husband works for the Canadian military, came up with the idea of sending a Canadian flag from city to city where events are held to support Canada's military.

The white section of the flag has the names of the 150 Canadian Forces members who have been killed to date. The flag is accompanies by a Journal, where Canadians can record their thoughts and messages to the fallen and those who have served our nation.

Who receives the flag? There are no specific guidelines. The flag travels to military families and supporters alike. Many legions, school groups, and families of the fallen, injured and deployed have received the flag across Canada.

The flag will be donated to the Canadian War Museum when it completes its journey.
