Fred Borgmann Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted February 20, 2019 Thanks Ski, there are a lot of local issue Canadian "Welcome Home" medals as they call them. Most are gold and unlike the similar medals issued in the USA , gold does not imply next of kin in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
