We’ve been sitting on this news for a month, and are happy to be able to share it now with family, friends and colleagues.
We are so honoured to receive this award, and I say WE because this belongs to Dirk every bit as much, and to the hundreds of veterans we’ve met and befriended over the last 20 years. Thanks also to the hundreds of communities and theatres and thousands of patrons who have supported us and Jake's Gift over the years.
We are extremely grateful to the Governor General of Canada, Her Excellency the Right Honourable, Mary May Simon for the honour of receiving the Meritorious Service Cross (Civil Division), and to the people who nominated us. It’s all a bit overwhelming, and we are just really happy to share it with you.
Lest We Forget.
