It was a surprise to most of those assembled particularly Orv and Bianca Butts when they were asked to come forward to recognize the work Orv has done for the Military Police Regimental Association (MPRA). The Marechaussee award is sponsored by the MPRA to recognize exceptional dedication, competence and contribution to the Regiment over an extended period of time.

He was surprised and humble as we all knew he would be. He is that kind of man. He would rather give credit than take it. He will do to ride the river with.
