Ruger Camp - National Aide Award 2017

NATIONAL AIDE AWARD
  
This award is presented by the National Commander-in-Chief, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War to any Brother who recruits (5) five or more members during his term in office. Recipients of this award are recognized in General Orders, and may wear the National Ribbon behind their respective membership badge for a 
Brother Jim Johnson with Brother Dennis St. Andrew DC
period of (12) twelve months.

For this award, Brother Jame R. Johnson recruited (8) eight new members into our Order, and the Ruger Camp----- four under the age of (40) forty and include (2) Junior members.

During the meeting, another member under the age of (40) forty & recruited by Brother Johnson has been added to the Sons and Ruger Camp membership rolls. 

I don’t believe that the importance of recruiting younger members can ever be overstated as they represent the future of our Order, and recruiting family members lets them share and learn the history and heritage of our Union Civil War soldiers and sailors.
