Congratulations to Senator Tracy Pennycuick, recipient of the Charles Dick Medal of Merit at the 148th NGAUS General Conference in Indianapolis.

The medal is one of the highest honors NGAUS bestows, reserved for elected officials whose support for the National Guard has had a lasting effect on the force. It is named for Maj. Gen. Charles Dick, the NGAUS president behind the legislation that established the modern National Guard.

A Bronze Star recipient and Black Hawk pilot who served 26 years in the U.S. Army, Sen. Pennycuick serves as Vice Chair of the Senate Veterans Affairs & Emergency Preparedness Committee and has been a consistent advocate for the Soldiers, Airmen, and families of the Pennsylvania National Guard.

Thank you for your service and your continued support, Senator!
