Dedicating a vehicle to a soldier

[Jon Skagfeld]

Agree...not tacky.

A long haul trucker did his whole rig up with a fitting moving memorial to a CF soldier killed in Agstan (his son?).

(Still have Box Amb CUCV on my 404s).

I believe that a living memorial to our fallen soldiers is one of the best ways of keeping their memory alive. These men and women have given their all. If they had a chance, they would sit with you and tell you exactly how the vehicle should be decked out. They would take great pride in telling you of their adventures in much the same vehicle.

I am in the process of building a boat dedicated to the memory of fallen Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers. Word of the boat project trickled out to some family members. They have all thanked me for my efforts.

When you finish with the vehicle and it is on display, you will give everyone a chance to put a name and a face to a piece of military equipment. In this way they will not be forgotten.

Guy: Did you mean Royal Canadian Mounted Police?

If so, by any chance, is the boat either the St Roch or the Shaunavon?

I meant to write Royal Canadian Mounted Police. More specifically the fallen four members from Mayerthorpe Alberta who died on March 3rd, 2005.

The boat`s name will be ORION, in memory of Cst. Anthony Orion Fitzgerald GORDON.

Thanks for the head`s up.

It was for Tpr Boutillier....he was one of my soldiers before I got rolled over to the tank Squadron. The trucker is a friend of the family if I recall correctly.

RIP Boots.
