Commander Presents Distinguished Service Medals

While at the House of the Temple for the signing of the Statement of Unity, Sovereign Grand Commander, Peter J. Samiec, took the opportunity to present the Distinguished Service Medal to all Sovereign Grand Commanders in attendance.

Congratulations to (l to r) Corey D. Hawkins, Sovereign Grand Commander, United Supreme Council, AASR, PHA Southern Jurisdiction; Melvin J. Bazemore, Sovereign Grand Commander, United Supreme Council, AASR, PHA Northern Jurisdiction; and James D. Cole, Sovereign Grand Commander, Supreme Council, AASR, Southern Jurisdiction.

The Sovereign Grand Commander may, at his discretion, bestow his personal award upon a deserving Masonic or Scottish Rite Brother whom he considers to have rendered outstanding distinguished and exemplary service to the Masonic Fraternity at large. The recipients of this prestigious award must have demonstrated such service to the Scottish Rite not often witnessed among the general membership.

Congratulations to these most worthy recipients.
