It was Military Appreciation Night at the Bell Centre in Montreal on Nov. 5 as the Montreal Canadiens played their last home game before Remembrance Day. The Canadiens welcomed the Command Team of the 2nd Canadian Division and Joint Task Force (East) of the Canadian Army in Montreal. Brig.-Gen. Patrick Lemyre (second from right) was accompanied by Chief Warrant Officer Patrice Chartrand (second from left), and special guest Jean-René Décary (centre), a 91-year-old veteran of the Korean War. Décary enrolled on April 13, 1951, and was deployed on Oct. 3; he fought for 14 months. He later served nine years as a sergeant in the 2nd Battalion of the Royal 22e Régiment. Décary is a member of Branch 265 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Quebec City.
