Dear Editor:
Re: Stolen valour, Burnaby NOW, Nov. 7. Kudos to the RCMP officer who was able to bring the man who stole valour medals and tried to pass them off as his own. When I read this article, I was really upset that someone would pull this kind of stunt.
My father was in the air force for 25 years and then a civil servant with the same pay as a lieutenant and he served the military for another 10 years. It is only because of his heart condition that he retired, he actually wanted to do more service.
I also had a brother-in-law who went on five missions to places like Cyprus and Bosnia and three others. He also was eager to serve his country for many years after he retired. He actually was in Afghanistan before the war started as a peacekeeper.
So thank you for bring this fraudster to justice after all the lives of all our veterans.
