Eagle Award

Published on January 26th, 2010

I was also honored on Wednesday to receive the Eagle Forum Virginia State Legislator Award in a brief ceremony in the Speaker’s Conference Room. The Eagle Forum is a national grassroots organization with chapters in all 50 states, that promote laws, regulations and policies that ensure a strong national defense, and are based on traditional family values and free market principles. Since the Eagle Forum was founded in 1972, the Eagle Award has only been given on six previous occasions to Virginia lawmakers. On Wednesday, I was honored to join the ranks of previous Eagle Award recipients: former-State Senators Eva Scott and Ken Cuccinelli, former-Delegates Jay Katzen and Dick Black, and my colleagues, Delegates Scott Lingamfelter and Bob Marshall. I want to thank Helen Blackwell, President of the Virginia Eagle Forum for traveling to Richmond to present the Award, and for her very gracious remarks regarding my legislative service.
