Marine Corps Association Foundation

Sir,
My name is Major Bob McCarthy, I am the CO for HQ Btry, 10th Marines. 

I want to extend my thanks and appreciation to you and the Association for your assistance in the establishment of our unit library. 

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.

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.

Dear MajGen Usher,

Dear Major General Usher,

I gratefully acknowledge, accept, and thank you for the recent support of the 2d Marine Aircraft Wing's PME trip to Belleau Wood, France in June of this year. This educational and historical tour will be of immense value in familiarizing Marines with the importance of our legacy in sustaining the Marine Corps. We appreciate your contribution and generosity in helping make this PME trip a uniquely successful and memorable event.

I want to relay my many thanks to everyone at Marine Corps Association and Military Historical Tours for providing me the opportunity to experience such a wonderful trip to Russia. Had I not won this trip through MCA I may have never taken advantage of such fantastic travels. The group, the Russian Tour guide (Oleg Alexandrov) and Charlie Dunn were wonderful companions during the trip. It will be a memory I will cherish all of my remaing days on this earth.

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.

Dear General Palm, Thank you very much for hosting select EWS students at the MCAF dinner on 16 Sept. It was an honor to be able to attend and hear the remarks of the Honorable Mr. Work. It wa a great night of caraderie and intellectual stimulation. Thanks again for the great support rendered to EWS. Semper Fidelis

Marine Corps Association Foundation,

On behalf of the Wounded Warrior Battalion-East, I would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation for your support. Your donation of Ipods demonstrates the spirit, patriotism, and commitment that have sustained our nation throughout its history. Your support is an unquestionable key to the success of our battalion.

Semper Fidelis

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,
