The French President Emmanuel Macron has formally elevated Rick Goings from Chevalier (Knight) in the French Legion of Honor, which he received 15 years ago, to Officer — a rare distinction for a non-French citizen and even more so as one of only four recipients. This auspicious promotion recognizes Rick's dedication, humanitarianism, and ongoing commitment globally to youth development and women's empowerment.
The Legion of Honor, a prestigious and deeply respected institution worldwide, represents the enduring spirit of meritocracy, service and excellence, tied to the values of the French Republic: liberty, equality, and fraternity. www.asflh.org
Congratulations, Rick! Well-deserved!
