Damn... shudda kept my big OLD mouth shut!
If Her Majesty sees fit to leave me here for BBB I will happily wet the bars at the bar!
Doesn't Joe Drouin (medal mounter extraordinaire) sell some kind of prop with a little wheel on it... to take the weight off'n the left shoulder? If our Forces get any busier we'll all look like banana republic dictators there'll be so much tin on our left chests! Take a look at a Remembrance Day Parade photo from the 70's and compare to today!
Then there was the volunteer in the red t-shirt who wouldn't give serving soldiers a bag lunch at a certain big ceremony involving the opening of a big building full of old military stuff here in Ottawa... he said, with a straight face, to a serving member with eight medals up, "Sorry, bag lunches are only for Veterans!" The gruff reply was, "What do these look like, kid; beer bottle caps?" Needless to say, bag lunches went out to ALL the Veterans.
