Barriere Legion member Glenn Reid says he was surprised to receive a recent letter from Pacific Command B.C. Yukon advising him of being a recipient for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for his service since 1972 to the Royal Canadian Legion. Since that time Reid has worked his way up through the ranks, serving locally as vice president and president, also as Nicola Thompson Zone chair for the terms of six years and four years, Deputy Zone Commander for two years, and Immediate Past Zone Commander for a third term. The medal was presented to Reid during the Annual Zone meeting held in Chase on April 20. Reid, 71, says he is pretty proud of the honour, and greatly appreciates the nomination.
