Congratulations to Warrant Officer J Palmer MMM CD for his award as a Member of the Order of Military Merit. The Member of The Order of Military Merit recognizes exceptional service or performance of duty. Warrant Officer Palmer has now embarked on his retirement process from the Canadian Armed Forces. Good luck in your future endeavours! Check out the Honours and Awards page here. Congratulations to Honorary Colonel Allan Frank De Genova MSM for having been awarded the Meritorious Service Medal on 3 May 2022! The Meritorious Service Decorations recognize great Canadians for exceptional deeds accomplished over a limited period of time that bring honour to our country. They honour achievements in both military and civil divisions. The Meritorious Service Decorations (Civil Division) were established to recognize remarkable contributions in many different fields of endeavour, from advocacy initiatives and health care services, to research and humanitarian efforts. Past recipients have tackled poverty in their community, improved education opportunities for children in Canada and abroad, or raised awareness of important causes and issues. Check out this fact filled artillery brochure from 1944. The pdf file has also been placed in our reference page.
