Special Bar To Honour Bomber Command Veterans
Nearly seven decades after the end of the Second World War, the service and sacrifice of Bomber Command, including that of tens of thousands of Canadians, has been recognized.
Defence Minister Peter MacKay and Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney announced that a special bar is being created for Canadian Bomber Command veterans to wear on the ribbon of the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal (CVSM). As well, Queen Elizabeth II unveiled the new Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park in London, England, on June 28.
