FOREWORD

 Associations are like venues in which members gather to share their common identity and experiences. The Royal Canadian Air Force Association is no different. Thousands of Canadians with aerospace-related experiences and interests choose to become members of Wings in their communities and many others become Members-at-Large. Together our members share at least one thing in common: a commitment to doing something that helps their community. This motivation, and the fact that our members are all volunteers, calls for us from time to time to recognize those who make significant contributions, especially those who serve as a sterling example for others. This Booklet describes various ways of recognizing volunteers who have contributed in a significant way, as well as those serving in Canada’s civilian and military aerospace spheres, who make significant operational and other contributions to our nation. Taking the time to acknowledge the contributions made by these dedicated Canadians is the least we can do to enhance our Association, our Air Force and our country.
