Recognizing One Resident’s Remarkable Legacy of Service

In November, residents, families, and community partners gathered to honor Leggio (“Lee”) J. Sassi, a resident of LSL, who was awarded France’s highest civilian and military honor, the Ordre national de la Légion d’honneur. The ceremony, held at VFW Post 7472, recognized Sir Sassi’s extraordinary service during World War II and his role in the liberation of France.

Sir Sassi enlisted in the U.S. Army at just 15 and went on to serve multiple enlistments spanning wartime combat and postwar occupation. As a member of the 44th Armored Infantry Battalion, 6th Armored Division, he earned five campaign stars for combat service and led a squad of soldiers in operations from Utah Beach across France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and into Germany. Wounded in action, he later returned to service, reflecting a remarkable, voluntary commitment to duty.

Established by Napoleon Bonaparte, the Legion d’honneur recognizes eminent military and civil service to France. Sir Sassi’s nomination, approved by French President Emmanuel Macron, was presented by Caroline Monvoisin, Consul General of France in Washington, D.C. It was a powerful moment of remembrance, gratitude, and pride that resonated deeply across the LSL community.
