2011 AWARDS
THE AMERICAN ORDER OF COMBAT-BUDOKWAN & ORDER OF COMBAT-USA
AWARDS – CITIZENSHIP
Basis – The original Grandmaster of the Order and the Budokwan founders determined that the Order would promote Citizenship, Education, and Community Service, as well as recognizing those members who have performed Community Services during the Award Periods.
Military or Emergency Services are considered to be “Service” to the Community, State or the USA, and those Black Belts participating in these activities, whether volunteer or paid, deserve an Award from the Order, celebrating their good citizenship.
ALL BLACK BELT MEMBERS MAY NOMINATE ANY MEMBERS OR PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS
FOR THIS RECOGNITION
