Christopher Salisbury Earns Commencement Award from Army and Navy Academy

2015 Jun 9

Christopher Salisbury of Ladera Ranch earned one of Army and Navy Academy's coveted Commencement Awards, presented during the school's graduation ceremony on June 6, 2015. This is one of the highest honors attainable by a Senior Cadet at the military school.

Christopher received the Virginia Powell Atkinson Award. This award is named in honor of the late Colonel William C. Atkinson’s wife and is presented to the graduating Senior who best exemplifies the finest traditions of the Academy. The Senior who receives this award lives up to the First Class motto— Facta non Verba (Deeds, not words). It is tantamount to a superlative Silver “A”. The award is an engraved US Army presentation saber.

"It is my pleasure to recognize your accomplishment," said Dr. Lisa Basista, Dean of Academics. "Congratulations, and best wishes as you continue on to the next chapter."
