"Justice Be
Done" (Flaubert 320)
The Legion of
Honor, one of France's most prestigious awards--no
excuse me, it is France's most illustrious
honor that can be bestowed upon any individual. This
accolade is only given to those Frenchmen who "have a minimum of
20 years of public service or professional activity and have
attained outstanding achievement in either case"
(Legion 1). I obviously have gone above
and beyond these meager requirements. In addition to
my work as a world-renowned pharmacist, as I approve the general
health of Yonville and its periphery, I "displayed
an unlimited devotion at the time of the cholera epidemic"
(Flaubert 320). Thus, I have had "OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT"
in the health care profession. Furthermore,
I have brought to this fair town much progress in medicine,
including, but not limited to, the cutting edge technology
of clubfoot operations. But, aside from my professional
merits, I have brought much honor to France, regarding
the progress of agriculture and literature. As a member
several "'scientific societies'" (Flaubert 320), including the
Agricultural Society of Rouen--agricultural section, pomology
subsection. I have written such fascinating, totally
engrossing books essays concerning Progress, as
Cider, Its Manufacture and its Effects, the General Statistical
Survey of the Canton of Yonville, and Climatological Observations,
not to mention my pharmacist's thesis. These
works have brought honor both to my town, my country,
and me. All of this professional work does not
even include my humanitarian efforts, like my service as a volunteer
firefighter and champion of the people, fighting for their
rights (like the absence of vagabonds bothering
hardworking men and women).
Well, with accomplishments like these, it is no wonder
that I have been awarded the French Legion of
Honor, an accolade I truly deserve. My hard work,
dedication to my profession and Progress, and humanitarian efforts
demonstrate that I, like other Legionnaires, am an asset
to France and mankind, in general .
