Congrats, Jim!!

 

[OldSolduer]

Thank you all very much. We, as you know, didn't do what we did for medals and glitter. Its nice to be appreciated, but we did it because it was the right thing to do.
And we'd do it again.

Nice work Jim. Do you wear RCMP decorations like the commendation pin on your uniform? We wear military ones with permission.

Spoken like a true hero, Jim.  Your humility is as inspiring as your deed.  Well done!

We will be checking into that. The CFCWO will have to be involved.

I met the RCMP Corps Sergeant Major today. He is as sharp if not sharper than some RSMs I've met. Mind you, the scarlets are awesome!

Belated congrats, Jim, and to all the others as well - well done!

Well done Jim!

Did you see the Local CBC written report? Wrong info.

 

[Good2Golf]

Congratulations, Jim!

Understanding that you would do it again, without question doesn't mean we can't note our profound thanks for you and the others for your selfless actions!
