On May 5th our Post was invited to the Parma City
Council Meeting in order that the Mayor and City Council
could present us with a resolution from Council along with
a proclamation and the Key to the City from the Mayor
honoring us with Citizen of the Month for February 2008.  
Thanks go to Parma CERT (Community Emergency
Response Team) for nominating us and encouraging the
city to violate their rules in order to bestow this honor for
the first time to an organization rather than to an
individual.  It was an honor to stand along with our
uniformed Color Guard and lead those assembled in the
Pledge of Allegiance and to accept these awards on behalf
of the Post.
