The only NATO members who fought in Afghanistan (Afghanistan was behind 9/11) were the US, the UK, and Canada.

You are wrong!

Maybe I should have said "really fought" in Afghanistan. Yes, all those countries sent troops. I don't have time to do a proper ratio analysis, I will leave that to you. Just take a look at these casualty figures and rough population:

US: 1750-2155 deaths, 330,000,000 people

UK: 448/63 million

Canada: 157/33 million

The back of my envelope says the UK took the highest ratio of deaths to population. US and Canada were next in line. For comparison Germany, with 80 million people, took 57 killed. Far less than the UK with 63 million people. Either the Germans were highly skilled at not getting killed, or they were not involved in heavy combat like the other three countries cited.

Remember for most of these countries ISAF stood for I Saw Americans Fight.

Ukraine also provided combat troops to our fight in Iraq and Afghanistan as well.
