Linda Wright

If you ever need inspiration to defend and educate on the role of the Canadian Military, just look at the humongous effort of Linda to keep it front and centre.

Linda was recently awarded the Sovereign's Medal for Volunteerism and the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation.

Way to go Linda and Rick.

Her Facebook entry reads:

I am feeling humbled and very proud to have been honoured with both the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteerism in May and, last night, the Minister of Veteran’s Affairs Commendation.
I received both for doing work that I love and will continue to do so.
I would also like to congratulate the other 17 deserving people who were with me last night and my husband and son who were both there.
Thank you all.

7985 J.A.M. Richard Michon (1945 - 2018)

Although I have no details at this moment, I have been informed by a reliable source that Richard passed away recently. I am trying to obtain precise details.

Je n'ai pas de details, mais j'ai entendu d'une source digne fiable que Richard est decede recemment. Je suis en train d'obtenir d'autre informations.
