Cmdry Lewis & Clark

Grand Commandery
of Knights Templar
of the State of Missouri

Commandery Lewis & Clark Award

is awarded to one Sir Knight from each Region who has demonstrated service, above and beyond the call of duty. Eligibility need not be limited to Officers, or those who excel in Ritual, but may be awarded to those behind the scenes who, without their presence, would be sorely missed.

It is the responsibility of the Regional Grand Commander to make nomination from his Region and District to the Grand Commander. The Grand Commander may accept this nomination, or, if no nomination is received, make award to the Sir Knight of his choice.

There is only one Lewis and Clark award per Region per year. The Award may not be given to a Grand Commandery Officer. There are no other provisions governing the award.

We proudly acknowledge these Missouri Sir Knights who have distinguished themselves above and beyond the call of duty, and received for their labors the Grand Commandery of Missouri Lewis & Clark Award. They are honored here from the most recent to time of inception.

Hand, Salute!
