An honor for Vermont...
2012 - National Law Officer of the Year
LAW CADET TRAINING
In
the Preamble to the American Legion Constitution, which we recite at
the beginning of every meeting, we pledge ourselves to ten purposes,
among which are: (1) to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United
States of America; (2) to maintain law and order;
(3) to foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism; (5) to
inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state, and
nation; and (8) to promote peace and good-will on earth.
To
this end, we strive to maintain law and order in our homes, Posts and
communities. We also honor those "unsung heros" of our lives - the paid
and unpaid law officers, firefighters, EMT’s and paramedics - who give
unselfishly of themselves every day that we might have freedom and
protection from harm.
The
hours that they give are often "above and beyond the call of duty", and
frequently they are not compensated at a fair market value. Their
families also give of themselves in this effort, as many hours are spent
away from home in their professional dedication to their fellow man.
