A Charlottetown woman finally decided to go through with her promise of wearing her late veteran husband’s war medals on Monday for Remembrance Day, despite the fact that she knew it was against the law. Last week, Madrien Ferris revealed her plans of wearing the medals to honour her late husband, Albert Ferris. In doing so, Ferris risked breaking a Criminal Code of Canada law that implicates that no one except the veteran can wear their medals.
Regardless of knowing she was breaking the law, Ferris alleged that she did it because the 10 medals her husband earned during his 30 years in the Armed Forces were kept storage since his death in 1995. Ferris admitted being a little nervous and a little stressed at the time she was wearing the medals on Monday, though she alleged that she was doing the right thing. He later stated that I am “proud that I have taken this stand to do it. It’s a big step forward because it is against the law for me to do that … they are out on display on my chest and I’m very proud of it.”
Contently, Ferris asserting that she is sure her late husband must be watching her today while she attended a reception at the Charlottetown Legion following a Remembrance Day ceremony. According to laws in Great Britain and Australia, medals can be worn on the right side by family members of veterans.
