A compatriot may receive this medal only once. No oak leaf clusters are authorized. This year’s recipient is Don Shelby Bazemore. Congratulations Don! President Wayne also presented Bernard Martin II and Benjamin Martin with their membership medals. Then Registrar Lee Herron presented Sgt-at-Arms Don Bazemore with the Chapters Streamer for presenting the Chapters wreath at the “236th Anniversary Siege of Fort Morris “Come and Take It” event held on November 23.
