Our American Legion victory at the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year was a tremendous win for religious liberty in this country. It is only fitting that we honor with this year’s Onderdonk Award our co-lead counsel for this great victory, Chris DiPompeo. Freedom-loving people everywhere, and especially our military veterans, owe Chris a great debt for his unwavering dedication to this case and the unyielding excellence of his work. Well done!
