Kevin Vickers, Sergeant-at-Arms, House of Commons
I don't know Sergeant Kevin Vickers, and likely will never meet him. But he will be enshrined in my mind as an example of the best of us, forever. In a world where the bad seems almost exalted for all the attention it receives, I'm happy to take a moment to show appreciation for the actions of one man who placed himself in harm's way to protect others.
Glen Parsons, former member of Parliament, penned this tribute to him today, far more eloquently than I can.
Thank you for your service, Sgt. Vickers.
