Cortland, N.Y.—Chaplain Norm Stitzel, a GARBC endorsed lay chaplain and member of Faith Baptist Church of Cortland, New York, received the Meritorious Service Award this year for his service as Commandant and Chaplain of the United States Marine Corps League Detachment #221.

The award reads: “In appreciation and gratitude for meritorious service in the interests of the United States of America, the United States Marine Corps and the Marine Corps League, for the period of May 2004 to Nov. 10, 2007.”

Cortland’s Mayor and Chief of Police were present during the presentation of this award.

Along with this award, the local newspaper, the Cortland Standard ran two large articles with pictures of Norm heading up the local Toys for Tots program. Faith Baptist Church donated DVDs that shared the story of the nativity. These DVDs, including the church’s contact information, went to 118 families. A total of 1053 gifts were given to 351 children.
