Context
The Bomber Command Bar is awarded to Canadian Veterans who, regardless of rank or role, served a minimum of one day with Bomber Command between September 3, 1939, and May 8, 1945 (Victory in Europe Day).
Recognizing that the successes of Bomber Command started on the ground and finished in the air over Fortress Europe, all Canadian Bomber Command Veterans who earned the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal (CVSM), regardless of rank or role, are eligible for the honour.
