Sir,

Thanks again for this grant/donation. We are going to start off a Jan 29 PME

talking about our new library, which was made possible due to the MCAF and

its members.

Sarah Cohen & All Our Friends At MCA:

Last week, I travelled to Philadelphia and joined many of our wounded, ill, and injured marines at the Union League to listen to a PME from General Mattis. As expected, it was an incredible evening. Every servicemember, and civilian, who attended was absolutely inspired by his disscusion. He made some outstanding points regarding the end of operations in Iraq and the furture of our involvement in Afghanistan.

Sir,
I received the shipment of books today. Thank you!
This is a great start to building a unit library here that the Marines will be able to use for years to come.

Good Morning Sir,

I just wanted to say thank you for making this year’s ceremony the largest one we have had.  This year there were more presenters and parents that came out to support the cadets.  It truly means a lot to our cadets.

Thank you and I look forward to working with you next year.

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 (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.

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.

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,
