Veterans have served with courage to safeguard and preserve the Canada we know today. The Government of Canada recognizes and honours the contributions of Canadian Veterans, as well as those who work to support them.
Today, the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, awarded the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation to these three Canadians in appreciation of their devoted support to Canada's Veterans:
Master Corporal (Retd) John Scott
Sergeant (Retd) Robert "Bob" Remple (posthumous)
These exceptional Canadians have contributed to the well‑being of Veterans and helped to preserve their memory and contributions.
The Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation is presented to individuals who often volunteer countless hours in their communities ensuring Veterans are recognized and supported.
