This letter from my Commanding Officer, Dale Romeo, in Cold Lake Alberta, was an award I received in recognition for my work as a military nursing officer. This is the letter that began my service as a military mental health nurse and provided me the opportunity to begin my academic training with the Advanced Studies of Mental Health certificate program of Mount Royal College (now Mount Royal University).
