The Governor General of Canada held a ceremony this morning to decorate some deserving soldiers. You can see some of the ceremony here.
Update: It would be useful if the good folks down at cbc.ca would learn the difference between a Corporal and a Captain. Derek Prohar, call your agent.
Jason Beam, call your agent as well. Thanks to the Canadian Press for messing it up in just about every paper's website across the country.
Let's see how long it takes to fix these errors. The clock starts...now.
Upperdate: Wow. Checking back at 1620, and the cbc.ca piece has been fixed. We have yet to see the CP correct its error.

Canadian Press can blame the Governor General's office. They had "Jean" Beam listed in the official program and in the press materials for today's ceremony. The Master of Ceremonies was at least informed of the error for he introduced Capt. Goddard's widow as Jason Beam.
At least, as one of my colleagues noted, they didn't have him down as "Jim Beam" ....
Thanks for the tip, David. Although the GG's site at the link you've provided now has Mr. Jason Beam listed as the recipient of Capt. Goddard's decoration.
The CP feed at the G&M is still incorrect, though.
