Distinguished Service "Double Eagle" Award
The DSA award has been given to brothers who have given much time and
effort to the Western Montana Valley Scottish Rite over the years.
All who have worked diligently for our valley can not receive a red hat because
we are ordinarily limited to about 2 recipients each 2 years.
No doubt there are others who deserve recognition but the decision by the
executive committee is to award a limited number of DSA recipients in order
to keep it very meaningful. Over the past few years only 6 have been so
designated.
