Honour
Not all service comes with a siren.
Some of it comes in silence…
in precision…
in honour.
Meet Dave Reed.
A paramedic who didn’t just answer calls he helped shape how we honour those who wore the uniform before us.
While most people never see what happens behind a state funeral or a line-of-duty service… Dave is there. Teaching. Leading. Making sure every movement, every step, every salute means something.
He’s donated his time to train members from fire, police, and EMS in drill and funeral protocols so when the worst days come, we show up the right way.
And here’s the part most people won’t see…
The uniforms?
The ceremonial swords?
The honour guard presence that looks so professional and put together?
It’s not handed to them.
They fight for it.
They fundraise for it.
They piece it together however they can because the people they’re honouring deserve nothing less.
Dave was also the first paramedic in Canada appointed as an Aide-de-Camp to a Lieutenant Governor.
Let that sink in.
That’s not just a title.
That’s trust.
That’s respect at the highest level.
And now with another historic state funeral on the horizon he’s still pushing forward, still asking for help, still trying to build something bigger than himself.
Because for Dave…
this was never about recognition.
It’s about respect.
Respect for the uniform.
Respect for the fallen.
Respect for doing it right when it matters most.
These are the stories you don’t hear.
But they’re the ones that define us.
Humans Behind the Uniform.
