    Whata great addition to our heritage. For the ones who will win this by their selfless acts of bravery I say you are the real heros of this world. Bravo Zulu to you all, past or future members of the victoria cross. We owe you a debt of gratitude. :rock: PDT_Armataz_01_34 PDT_Armataz_01_37

    Call me a traditionalist or old fashion but, I would still prefer that Canadians be awarded the British Empires version of the Victoria Cross.

    That's being said, I really like the design. and as long as they keep the same criteris for winning it, who knows, maybe it'll grow on me?

    Now that is an excellent photo.

    I'm all for this, Queen Viccy was quite in there as we got 'responsible government' and the VC's for Canadians over the years make stirring reading.

    I like the latin take on 'For Valour', a totally Canadian slant that nobody should take offence on. Latin, the core of both our languages.

    good shit!

    Pro Valore.

    It's really nice and long overdue, but it's too bad it isn't made of Candian gold with Canadian diamonds on it.

    Horrible. A wretched relic of colonial times. In the modern context, this thing is un-Canadian.
