Pruitt Awarded Medal for Community Leadership

OKLAHOMA CITY – Attorney General Scott Pruitt was awarded the George Washington Medal of Freedom by the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge’s Oklahoma City chapter Tuesday.

The George Washington Medal of Freedom is the foundation’s highest award and recognizes individuals in their communities who “go above and beyond the call of duty on a local, regional or national level which promote good works and serve their communities on an ongoing, day-to-day basis.”

“Community service and civic engagement are among the bedrock principles upon which our nation was founded. It’s an honor to serve the citizens of Oklahoma as attorney general, and I greatly appreciate receiving this award from the Freedoms Foundation,” Attorney General Pruitt said.

The Freedoms Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 1949 that seeks to educate Americans about their rights as citizens and encourage them to participate in civic engagement.
