Colonel St. John is commended for his extraordinary support to the Canadian government and the Canadian Forces during the Israel-Hezbollah conflict in 2006. He was a tremendous asset for Canada in the Middle East where he worked tirelessly to allow that Canadian air, ground, and sea movements in the conflict zone proceed unimpeded. His actions contributed directly to the protection of Canadian citizens and ensured their safe evacuation from Lebanon.
