The Second Induction Ceremony of the Village of Russia Légion d’Honneur will be held on Sunday, March 10, 2024 at 1:00 pm at Russia Local School. 

The 2024 recipients to be posthumously honored are:  Leo Francis, Claire Naveau, and Delbert “Doc” Francis, Jr.

The purpose of this honor is to recognize those persons, living or deceased, who through their character, contributions, and achievements, bestow upon the Russia community and Russia Local School a positive image, so that present-day students and community members can connect with the past and emulate these hallowed and virtuous persons in the future.  The Légion d’Honneur program aims to reinforce merit-based distinction while fostering an increased sense of pride among those who call Russia home.
