OMMC 419 - Saskatchewan Military Service Pin

I received this note from Don Reibin a short while back and recently from the Air Force Association and thought a further broadcast might well be useful. It will be of interest to any person who has served in the Canadian Armed Forces in Saskatchewan or to any member of a police service or police force who has served during military operations.
"The Lt-Gov of Saskatchewan has made available a military service pin for
members who lived in Saskatchewan, even if it was for training purposes.
You may be eligible or know others who are eligible to receive this
recognition. RCMP members, past and present, who have served in military
operations are also eligible.
Throughout our history, Saskatchewan men and women have served in wars,
dangerous peacekeeping missions, and vital domestic operations. They have made enormous sacrifices to represent our nation and to defend the principles of peace, freedom, and justice.
The Lieutenant Governor's Military Service Pin symbolizes the gratitude of the Crown and the people of Saskatchewan for those who have served with
honour and valour. The pin is intended to be worn on civilian clothing, so that we might recognize those who serve when they are not in uniform.
The Lieutenant Governor's Military Service Pin is intended for individuals who have lived in Saskatchewan at one time. The following are eligible to
receive the pin:
* Current and retired members of the Canadian Armed Forces (Regular,
Primary and Secondary Reserves, including Canadian Rangers);
* Current and retired members of police forces who have served in
military operations (including municipal forces and the RCMP who have served in military operations).

Best regards to all,
David L. Stinson
Secretary, OMMC
