“For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue.” President James A. Garfield spoke these words in 1868 at the first national Decoration Day (later renamed Memorial Day) ceremony at Arlington, VA. His message was simple and solemn and one that still resonates today: the fallen didn’t just profess their love of country — they proved it through the ultimate sacrifice.

The Princeton Community Democratic Organization’s Founder’s Award is an annual award created this year in honor of the PCDO’s founder, the late Peter Lindenfeld, who played an essential role in making Princeton the progressive community it is today. The PCDO will recognize two individuals: one an outstanding community leader (Community Leader Award) and one an elected official (Elected Representative Award). Former elected officials no longer serving can be eligible for either award. Only PCDO members may submit nominations. The deadline for all nominations has been extended to May 6th. The link to the nomination form can be found on our website (www.princetondems.org). Awards for 2026 will be announced in June and awarded at the PCDO’s Founder’s Awards Dinner on September 19th, 2026.
