A year ago, in May 2014, at the 9th Annual International Wildlife Refuge Alliance (IWRA) Benefit Dinner, the Friends of the Migratory Bird/Duck Stamp presented Congressman John D. Dingell (D-MI) with a formal award honoring his tireless work for birds and their habitats and for his leadership on the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission, going back to his inclusion on the MBCC in 1969.
Mr. Dingell's role in Congress and on the MBCC has been one of continued vigilance and leadership, consistently raising important issues to defend wetlands, waterfowl, other birds and wildlife, and the National Wildlife Refuge System.
With those contributions in mind, last month we extended to the now-retired Congressman the status of Honorary Life Member of the Friends of the Migratory Bird/Duck Stamp.
