Ban proposed on the sale of Canadian military medals

[Bill Alexander]

Being back at work, I just got around to checking phone messages. Mr.Stoffer had called and left a message for me regarding the email that I had sent. (see post above.)
In essence his message stated that veteran's and veterans' "organizations" and the RCMP didn't want the medals that they wear on their chests bought or traded. He recounted one "poignant" anecdote where the veteran said what he earned should not be treated as "currency". He also indicated that he understood that "collectors" did good things with the medals that they held, but that it was not right that the medals were being "traded" or sold at flea markets or on ebay. Essentially it was the same messsage as the original press release.
He did mention the Topham group again and the Prince group, expressing that interested parties shouldn't have to go through what they did to obtain the medals. (???, not 100% sure what he means by this. Sounds like $ argument mixed in with some sentiment.)
This was a message and did not indicate any further contact except to wish me the best in the "Year of the Veteran".
I am puzzled by the RCMP reference. He used it a couple of times in the message. Yes one group of RCMP served as Provost, others enlisted, and some RCMP serve with peace keeping and UN missions, but what exactly they had to do with this initiative is unclear.
Are any of our forum readers aware of the support of the Royal Canadian Legion for Mr. Stoffer? Or of any other veterans' groups?
