JINSA’s 33rd Annual Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson Distinguished Service Award & Presentation of the 2015 Grateful Nation Awards – Monday, November 16

JINSA is proud to announce that this year’s Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson Award will be presented to Congressman Ed Royce (CA-39), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on November 16 at the Marriott Marquis in Washington, DC.

JINSA is proud to announce that this year’s Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson Award will be presented to Congressman Ed Royce (CA-39), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on November 16 at the Marriott Marquis in Washington, DC. This prestigious award enables JINSA to recognize and thank those leaders whose careers have been distinguished by the principle that is the foundation of JINSA’s work: the belief that the United States requires a strong military capability for both its own security and for that of trustworthy friends and allies. This was the cornerstone of the late Senator Jackson’s visionary policy and it guides JINSA today. This exciting evening will take place on Monday, November 16 at the Marriott Marquis in Washington, DC. Reception will begin at 6:15 PM with dinner at 7:00 PM.

As a longtime active member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Congressman Royce is known for his knowledge of many different regions of the world and foresight into key U.S. foreign policy issues. Combining his work on both the Financial Services and Foreign Affairs Committees, Royce is a recognized leader in Congress on anti-terrorism finance issues. He is a founding member and Co-Chairman of the Congressional Anti-Terror Finance Task Force, which seeks to strengthen efforts to fight against the funding of terrorism.

Congressman Royce has also been a leading voice on Iran sanctions; in 2010 he served on the Conference Committee for the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment Act. Last year, Royce was the original cosponsor of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syrian Human Rights Act of 2012. Following the bill’s passage, with Royce’s support, Iranian regime officials engaging in censorship activities were targeted with asset freezes and travel bans. Royce was also a Conferee to the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013, and strongly supported the sanctions against Iran contained in that legislation. The Foreign Affairs Committee he chairs is responsible for overseeing broadcasting to Iran. Congressman Royce will be working to see that U.S. broadcasting efforts effectively promote democracy and human rights in Iran.

JINSA will also present The Grateful Nation Award the same evening to six young warriors recognized for having distinguished themselves through superior conduct in the War on Terrorism. Honorees are chosen by their respective service and come from the enlisted, noncommissioned officer and junior officer ranks. Honorees represent each of the five branches of the U.S. military and the U.S. Special Operations Command.

This awards dinner will take place on the evening of Monday November 16 at the Marriott Marquis in conjunction with JINSA’s Fall National Leadership meeting.
