Shehab (pictured right) from the General George G. Meade, Maryland Chapter. This award is presented each year by the Commander-in-Chief to the companion he feels has rendered the greatest service to him and the order during his tenure as Commander-in-Chief. The award was instituted in 1943, by the courtesy of Lt. General Milton G. Baker. When then – CINC COL St. Amant presented this award to LTC Shehab he stated that he was especially appreciative of the assistance and “candid” advice he received from LTC Shehab throughout his term as CINC. He also thanked him for “going the extra mile” in assisting him in doing his duties as CINC and for helping the Order during his term in office. Congratulations to Past CINC LTC Alfred H. M. Shehab for receiving this very prestigious award.
