Default Tribute

Guys,

The Lynx and I had the privilege of participating in a tribute for Ed Stafford. Ed was a Trooper with the Governor General's Horse Guards during the Italian campaign and served on Lynx's. The Warriors Day Memorial parade in which Ed normally participates was cancelled this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, so the decision was made to bring a convoy of military vehicles to Ed, as a surprise tribute.

Ed is a fit 99 year old veteran, who not only took a spin "around the block" in the Lynx, but went on to commandeer a current TAP-V from the Governor General"s Horse Guards. (pictured under Ed's outstretched right arm).

My thanks to our OMVA secretary, Terry Witiuk, for organizing the event, Hagerty Insurance for covering expenses, and Robin Craig for the logistics of transporting the Lynx.

Peter
