Gagetown Soldier to be Honoured
A Gagetown soldier joins 10 other Canadians who have received the Govern General's Bravery Decoration. In September of 2007, Sergeant Roger Lane caught two men who had robbed a grocery store in Edmonton, Alberta. Sgt. Lane noticed a man wearing a disguise running towards him and instantly realized a robbery had taken place. He caught the suspect, wrestled him to the ground, removed the gun stuck in his waistband and threw it out of reach.
While other shoppers held the robber, Sergeant Lane grabbed a second suspect who was running away. The second man sprayed tear gas in Sergeant Lane's face and although temporarily blinded, Sergeant Lane managed to hold onto him until the police arrived. Lane and the other 10 recipients will receive their decorations at a future ceremony.
