The Pennsylvania Army National Guard recently recognized the PBA for its good works in support of service members and their families.

Lt. Cliff Morales, a lawyer who has served in Iraq and a current recruiter of lawyers to serve as judge advocates, presented an award recognizing the PBA for "its outstanding support in providing pro bono legal aid to the over 12,000 Pennsylvania National Guard soldiers and airmen and their families deployed since 9/11 in the global war on terror."

Morales said that legal services provided by PBA members have allowed "the deployed soldiers and airmen to focus on their mission knowing that their legal needs were met."

2005-06 PBA President Bill Carlucci accepted the award at the PBA Annual Meeting on behalf of PBA members.
