Battleford Legion honours vet with first poppy pinning
In a special ceremony downstairs in the Battleford Legion Branch 9, a peacekeeper was honoured Friday afternoon.
As the first poppy of the Poppy Campaign season was being placed on the left lapel of his uniform, Veteran Ron Falcon smiled.
Falcon, who served as a radar technician during peacetime all over the world in places like Barbados, Holland, Africa and Ireland will also be receiving his pin for his combined 50 years of service on Remembrance Day.
“I was very excited about that but very proud too,” he said.
