SAR Tech honour Roll

 
Recognizing the inherent danger that is part of the Para Rescue/SarTech trade, some of it's members have paid the ultimate price and have given their lives in the demanding and necessary duty of Search and Rescue. May the Supreme Being bless them all. The Honour Roll is as follows: ARMSTRONG, William 1969 PLATT, William 1971 LEMIEUX, Jerry 1971 LEMAY, Clement 1978 O'NEILL, Ronald 1980 FISHER, Wade 1980 COCKS, Rick 1980 YOUNG, Phillip 1992 CRONIN, Darrell 1998 ROY, Jean 1998 NOEL, Kirk 2006 GILBERT, Janick 2011 Salesse, Mark 2015 The Red Beret Hush, my son, don't cry, Your too wise for your three years, I can't tell you why he died, I don't know how to dry your tears. I can tell you that he loved us, I can tell you to great length, But we weren't the only ones, That depended on his strength. There were many other people, With little boys like you, That Daddy went to look for, Because is what he had to do. It's not much consolation, Though I tell you time again, He died for what he lived for, Along with seven other men. Someday you'll be a man, And go your separate way, But I know I'll be damned proud, If you wear a RED BERET. Written by "BETTE PLATT" in memory of her husband Cpl Bill Platt, who was killed on duty in a Dakota Crash in 1971.
