"Reuniting Our Firefighter Family On The
Net"
|
 Since
very ancient times, it has been the practice for those in the military
who distinguish themselves by their exemplary courage or merit, to be
awarded some mark of distinction. Through the centuries, these marks of
honour have taken many forms, from the laurel wreathes with which the
early Greeks and Romans crowned their heroes to special presentation
swords and other weapons. In more recent times, it has become customary
to bestow on those to be honoured, a special badge in the form of a
medal, star or cross, suspended from a ribbon and worn around the neck,
or pinned to the coat, to distinguish them from their
comrades.
During Canada's Centennial Year, the order Of Canada was established as
a means of honouring those who rendered meritorious services to the
nation. It was also decided to include in Canada's Honour System, a
means of recognizing conspicuous merit and exceptional service by the
men and women of the Canadian Forces, both Regular and Reserve.
Accordingly, on the first day of July 1972, the Order of Military Merit
was established. The Order of Military Merit limits appointments to one-tenth of
one percent of the average number of persons who were members of the Canadian Forces during the preceding year.
The Order confers no special privileges on it's members and brings them
no monetary rewards. It is a society of honour with three degrees of
membership - Commander, Officer and Member |
