Actually it was more than 12k. Accurate numbers are hard to find .I've seen 29,000 used and I've seen estimates of 30-40,000. Over 100 died in Vietnam. I know of one Medal of Honor and one Silver star awarded to Canadians.There could be more.

The figure of 12K Canadians that served in Vietnam seems to be fairly accurate. A total of approx. 30-40K Canadians served in the US Military during that period, however, only about 12K Canadians were actually "In-country." That is, saw service in Vietnam. 103 Canaidan KIAs are listed on the Canadian Memorial in Windsor. Col. Harry Summers and Mark Woodruff's new book, UNHERALDED VICTORY, have pretty much concluded on the 12K figure. Obviously, had it been much higher, the number of KIA would have been much higher.
