A message from Ed Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) E.E. Staniowski  OMM, CD:

Valour in the Presence of the Enemy Initiative is an initiative of significance to Canada’s Federal and Provincial Governments, our Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) veterans, serving military members, and all citizens of Canada.
 
Former CAF Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Hillier is the driving force along with the Canadian non-profit group “Valour in the Presence of the Enemy”, who are supporting a petition to be tabled in the Canadian Parliament next month. 

This petition calls for Prime Minister Carney to establish an “Independent Military Honours Review Board” to examine cases where the criteria for the Canada’s highest military medal for valour, the Victoria Cross (VC) has been met.

Please consider logging in to the E-6661 Petion link and sign in support of the initiative: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-6661
