The Freedom Flame Award recognizes individuals who have exemplified the ideals of freedom, democracy, economic opportunity and international strength to which the Center for Security Policy is committed. The Award acknowledges the past contributions of its recipients while serving as a reminder that the goals for which they have worked so valiantly require the continuing, unflagging efforts of those who follow in their footsteps.

The award-- a breathtaking crystal flame-- is presented to the recipient at an elegant luncheon hosted by the Center's Regents in New York City and attended by the Center's National Security Advisory Council, friends and sponsors.
