2012 MCA&F Ammo Tech Awards Dinner

I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone at the association for sponsoring the Ground Awards Dinner on 3 June at the Crystal City Marriott. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were tremendously pleased with the hospitality shown to us and the great accommodations. As well, I wanted to thank the association for the DVD of the event that was mailed to me. It is something that I will keep and treasure for the rest of my days. Again, thanks for everything.

SgtMaj,

It is good to hear from you.

The MCA was instrumental in the establishment of our company reading program. They provided us a book grant that was the cornerstone of our NCO reading program. By focusing on warfighting ethos, small unit tactics, and combat leadership the reading program greatly contributed to the esprit de corps and combat proficiency of the company.

Tina,

I received the package today ( Thurs. 2/9), The Award is beautiful, it will display well with my other Collectibles. Although it is not the same format that I was presented in 1968, it was worth waiting 43 years to receive.  I have a photo of the original presentation to display with the plaque.

Thanks again for your efforts to make a former Marine proud. 

Dear General Usher,

Thank you so much for the certificate and gift you gave me at the MCWAR graduation. The certificate will be nice to show my kids as they get older and understand more about the Corps. The year at MCWAR was fantastic. We have a great school and its small size makes it unique among the War Colleges. I believe it is the gem of the MCU schools. Again, thank you for the kind gift and support to MCWAR.

Semper Fidelis,

Sir (Col John Keenan),

Dear General Usher, 

  On behalf of the Marines, Sailors, and Civilian Marines of U.S. Marine Corps Forces Command, we appreciate the generous support of the Marine Corps Association Foundation (MCAF) during our inaugural command Professional Military Education Battlefield Staff Ride. Your contribution permitted Marines, Sailors, and Civilian Marines to participate in a battle study of the 1862 Peninsula Campaign here in the Tidewater area.

To the Men and Women of the Marine Corps Association:

I am MIDN Paul Pham and in less than a month I can say I am a United States Marine. I have worked four years at USC, studying economics and laerning the Marine Corps' way of life. To be presented with this award is an unforgettable experience because to earn this award one must exemplify the Marine Corps traditions.

Sir (John Keenan),

I received the MCA Honor Graduate Award today.  It is the centerpiece of our Awards Program and I am honored as a Marine to hand this award to our best cadet each year.  Thank you for your continued support.

Semper Fi,
