Color guard members pre- sented the musket volley to begin the activities and Dr. Robert Lee Aston, a member of the Samuel Elbert Chapter, received a prestigious award for Military Legal Assistance in recognition of a decade of pro bono work for war veterans. The award was presented June 1 at the annual Georgia State Bar meeting in Savannah. Aston obtained more than 104 combat medals for veterans who had performed meritorious and heroic actions but had never received the medals due to military administrative or clerical error. Aston has contin- ued his work, and his successful claims now stand at 110. Aston is an 88-year-old World War II combat veteran and a member in good standing of the Georgia and Virginia State Bars. A year before being honored with this award, he received SAR's pres- tigious Gold Good Citizen's Medal.
