During ceremonies conducted on 26 August 2007 at the US Army War College in Carlisle, PA, Patriot John Fales (right) of Silver Springs, MD received the "Bronze Medallion of the Legion of Honor" from President of the Chapel of the Four Chaplains Dante Mattioni (left) of Philadelphia. Using the pseudonym "Shaft", Marine Vietnam veteran Fales writes a twice weekly veteran-related column for the Washington Times newspaper. Shaft, as he is known, is the President and one of the founders of the Blinded American Veterans Foundation, a for-profit organization designed as a focal point and a clearing-house for research, information dissemination and educational efforts for those who lost their sight during their military service.

On 20 June 2007 Lower Merion Township's secretary, Eileen R. Trainer at age 70, was awarded the Legion of Honor Award from the Chapel of   Four Chaplains, for her many years of selfless service. Trainer was nominated in recognition of her service to all people regardless of race or faith and to spotlight her volunteer activity on behalf of the elderly.

The Legion of Honor Award programs publicly recognizes and honors outstanding members of society whose lives model the giving spirit and unconditional service to community, nation, and humanity without regard to race, religion, or creed exemplified so dramatically by the Four Chaplains. As such, Eileen R. Trainer is unquestionably deserving of this award.
