Robert Edmonds MBE, a member of the Royal Canadian Legion for 57 years was recently awarded The Palm Leaf to the Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) in early 2023. Robert has served multiple times in every executive position in the Western Zone as well as his Covina Branch 22. His accomplishments and service to the community, the youth and the Legion are many and impressive. This is the highest award possible for a member of the Royal Canadian Legion.
Branch 156 member Larry Dalphy presented a check for $6000 from the Branch to Jeri Wilson of the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation. These funds will be used to develop unique cancer treatment protocols for children. Although pediatric cancer is considered rare, approximately 15,000 children a year in the United States are diagnosed with cancer. In the US, pediatric patients make up 10% of the new diagnoses, yet the NIH only designates 3.8% of the cancer research budget to pediatric patients
