Maybe for you.

You can always hit ignore. It works well.

So if all politicians deserve to walk a mile in veterans shoes; shouldn't all legion command positions walk a mile and be Veterans? Couldn't agree more. What makes me vexed slightly is the legions constant fall back statement that "we agreed for it to be a living charter". Like that brings...

A veteran is a veteran. Problem being IIRC( from another thread here on army.ca) 80% of the legion has never served in any capacity. That's the issue; not a tour or time frame/ specific tour or medal. Korea, Germany, Peacetime, Bosnia, etc are all examples of veterans. Not had a uncle in WW2.

Many of us from Petawawa were drugged up and sent back to work with no restrictions or follow ups from the CDU. Medical causality tracking in Petawawa seemed non existent when I was there. Don't get angry at the system...it aint worth it. Hopefully knowing many of us were sent back to work and...

Chin up brother.Stay strong till it passes.

Not at all. Originally it was to identify a few medals I've never seen before while looking into who is running the legion. I was interested in who has the ear of government on behalf of veterans across Canada as a personal project. The question was asked above to post pic's of those who are in...

Bang on thanks! (Time to get my eyes checked!)

More help? Right to left: CD, Golden Jubilee, Unknown, Peacekeeper, Unknown Any help from the medal guru's again!

Couldnt agree more with you. Get involved in advocacy. As far as I'm concerned it's given me hope; which is much more than I had before. Sometimes you have to fight who once paid you.

Thanks again guys! Thanks for the links.

As you can tell I've been diving into the legion just to see who is standing there to represent us.  I've been finding a common thing here where I recognize one or two commemoration medals and one vague one I've never seen before. Request some help again....this will make a nice picture...

Him not being able to go for that reason should be deferred by a simple talk to the SSM. If that's the only reason the RSM should be able to sort that out with the career mangler with a phone call. No reason to stop his career due to a temporary personal problem.

SgtD No this doesn't mean he get's released. A few years back we had a few older type Cpl's hanging about and after years of attrition were course loaded on their PLQ. Not wanting the responsibility (or to  show their incompetence). They had to write a memo stating they wished to cease career...

She did not complete 12 years service. IIRC she served as a WREN in the 70's for a short time.

Bang on Mike; thanks!

Looking to identify the medal next to the golden Jubilee  medal. Searched the DDHR site to no avail. Wondering if someone here knows what it is. thanks in advance.
