Lee and certificate after being elected "Compatriot of the Year" for 2007 by the members of the Buckhead-Fort Lawton Brigade, SCV Camp 2102. Allen's participation in civic events, living histories and area Confederate memorials, along with his help in maintaining the grounds of historic Buckhead Church earned him the title overwhelmingly. Allen was also presented a Certificate of Appreciation for his service as 2nd Lieutenant Commander from January 2007 to January 2008. (Photo contributed)
