MajGen Usher,

Sir, Thank you very much for your support. The books we received from MCA are greatly appreciated and have been beneficial during our preparation for deployment in support of OEF. 

Email from MCA Sponsored Unit Library Recipient in Iraq Sir, We have received the books sent by MCA. Thank you and MCA again for your generosity and boost to our morale and professional education...

Ma'am,

I received the shipment of plaques, books and certificates today for mail call. It was more exciting to me than candy or magazines! Thank you very much.

Dear Sirs,

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

Sir,

   The books received have been a great benefit to our Marines. I constantly

see them checked out and being read by both SMCR and AC Marines. Thank you

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.

Sir (John Keenan),

Attached is our Book Request Form.  Again, thank you very much for this grant.  We've already built a year long PME program largely centered on the books that the Marines picked from the lists.  I look forward to their arrival and all the professional growth that will come from them.

To all,

Over the past 4 years while serving as a Sergeant Major at two different units the MCA has provided important support. While stationed at Marine Corps Security Force Battalion, Bangor, Washington I conducted 8 Corporal Courses the MCA provide plaques, certificates, and books. This impacted over 200 Corporals and Petty Officers. Both the Marine and NCO of the Quarter were given the NCO handbook provided by the MCA for the 12 quarters I was the Sergeant Major.
