UN Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP)

Awarded for 30 days service between 27 March 1964 and 27 March 1965. However, after 27 March 1965, 90 days consecutive service is required.

The UN strictly applies their medals policy and will not consider requests for initial issue of the UN medals that are submitted more than one year after repatriation from the mission area.

The qualifying service is not required for members killed or presumed killed while on assignment. In such cases, the medal may be awarded posthumously.

Canadian Forces Decoration correctly named MCPL JRR CANTIN

The decoration is awarded to officers and non-commissioned members of the Regular and Reserve forces, including honorary appointments within the Canadian Armed Forces. 12 years.

The Special Service Medal (SSM) with NATO-OTAN clasp (loose)

This recognizes members of the CF who have performed a service determined to be under exceptional circumstances, in a clearly defined locality for a specified duration. The SSM recognizes approved activities underway on 11 June 1984 or subsequently established.
The SSM has since been amended to expand eligibility to include, for eligible service from 29 April 2014 onward, Government of Canada employees and contractors, Canadian police officers and allied police serving under them as well as allied military personnel working under the CF. This expansion aligns this medal with other modern service medals which allow recognition of all those who serve on behalf of Canada and play a key role in the success of Canadian operations.

This medal is always issued with a bar that specifies the special service being recognized (there are no rotation bars to the SSM), each bar having its own criteria.

NATO-OTAN.

NATO service between 1951 and 2004:
An aggregate of 180 days of honourable service within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) area of responsibility between 1 January 1951 and 19 October 2004. Qualifying service is service while posted to a NATO unit, or to a Canadian Forces or allied formation or unit outside territorial limits of Canada under the operational control of a NATO headquarters, or in Canada on an operational staff directly participating in the operational control of such formations and units. In the latter case, only those staff personnel serving in an operations room directly participating in the control of ships and aircraft in NATO operations and exercises qualify for this service. Persons in eligible positions or operations on 19 October 04 can continue to count their time until the end of that posting or deployment only. NOT ALL time served in Europe nor at sea can be counted towards this bar.
