Dear Sir,

On July 15, 2014, Raymond Hainey wrote an article about my missing medal honouring the Queen’s visit to Bermuda.

On September 22, 2015, I was presented the medal by Carol Everson after landing on St David’s Island.

I wore the medal with my Marine Corps league uniform at the Bermuda Tattoo alongside of my medals from Vietnam.

I was extremely proud to be able to wear it again. Over the years, I had forgotten the gold colour of the medal, but when it was presented, everything thing came back.

Only the children in St George’s parish received the medal and a photograph of the Queen. This I learnt from others living on the main island who remembered the visit.

Thank you, Bermuda, for such a great return home visit.
