I remember in the beginning of the campaign the Canadian forces were quite a mess. Wearing jungle camo in the desert, not having any equipment they needed, complete lack of leadership. But by the end not only had their image completely changed at home and made me feel proud to be Canadian, but they've received high praise from around the world and turned the Canadian military from laughing stock to highly respected. Forget whether the invasion was/wasn't justified and what kind of lasting impact it had, it's nice to see our forces finally getting the attention and funding they deserve after the last few decades of neglect
