Scientology: International Association of Scientologists
20th Anniversary
Tom Cruise - Freedom Medal of Valor
I just saw a televised version of an international event that was held in the United Kingdom, and was really impressed to see the humanitarian accomplishments of Scientologists over the past year.
For me, the highlight of the event was the presentation of a very special award Tom Cruise for his many years of dedicated work to protect Scientology and Scientologists against prejudice and bigotry in countries that do not have a tradition of religious tolerance, to make Scientology solutions broadly available, to disseminate the Scientology religion and to be a real example of what it means to be a Scientologist.
One thing he said about this when he received his award was, "That's what drives me, that I know that we have an opportunity to really help for the first time, effectively change people's lives, and I am dedicated to that. I am absolutely uncompromisingly dedicated to that."
Here are just a few examples of what Tom Cruise has done.
| He has taken up the cause of Scientologists in Germany who have experienced government sanctioned descrimination. | Cruise: Scientology Ambassador Cruise Lobbies over Scientology |
| He has brought L. Ron Hubbard's detoxification technology to the 9/11 rescue workers | Tom Cruise Tops List of Celebrities at Scientology Celebrity Centre 34th Anniversary Gala |
| Tom Cruise has made L. Ron Hubbard Study Technology available as a founding board member of the Hollywood Education and Literacy Project and a major supporter of Applied Scholastics International | Tom Cruise Supports H.E.L.P Applied Scholastics International Grand Opening |
| Helping Kids stay drug-free | Scientology News: Tom Cruise Surprises Drug-Free Ambassadors in Auckland, New Zealand, with Kudos and a Check |
| And helping to dedicate the new Church of Scientology of Spain at the Grand Opening event in September 2004 | Tom Cruise addresses the thousands in attendance at the Grand Opening of the Church of Scientology of Madrid, Spain |
This is only a small part of the contribution Mr. Cruise has made to making Scientology known and available to anyone who wants to improve their life or help others.
