Created in 1972, the Order of Military Merit recognizes distinctive merit and exceptional service displayed by the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces, both Regular and Reserve. Many have demonstrated dedication and devotion beyond the call of duty, and the Order honours them for their commitment to Canada.
There are three levels to the Order of Military Merit, as follows:
- Commander (CMM)
- Officer (OMM)
- Member (MMM)
Further information on the Order of Military Merit may be obtained from the web site of the Governor-General of Canada.
