The medal was presented by District 2 Zone 3 Deputy Zone Commander David Burke and Kindersley President Scott Holloway.
Morley will be celebrating his 100th birthday in December of this year. He proudly served Canada during the Second World War, doing his part to achieve the freedom and peace that we all enjoy today.

Carol Peterson, Provincial Command President, explained that Premier Scott Moe had arranged for every living WWII veteran from Saskatchewan to receive a Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal. The office of the Premier reached out to Sask. Command Office of the Royal Canadian Legion to assist in locating these veterans and presenting them with the medals. Peterson said they were honoured to do so.
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal was created to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years of service and to commemorate individuals for outstanding service to community and country. Nomination forms were required through the office of the Lieutenant Governor, which was done by Premier Moe.
Carol Peterson said, “We are very thankful for Morley Crosson’s service and for the opportunity to show our appreciation through facilitating the presentation of a Queen’s Platinum Jubilee medal. Congratulations, and thank you for your service.”
