Edwin Scott Linton American Legion Post 175 in Washington recently awarded American Legion School Medal Awards to Washington-area eighth-grade students. The award recognizes students who possess high qualities of courage, honor, leadership, patriotism, scholarship and Americanism. Honorees are selected by teachers and staff.
