HonoreesBy LtCol Gary Solis, USMC (Ret)This year, the awards banquet had a
new look, with attendees in tuxedos andevening dress uniforms, the ladies in for-mal gowns. And the award winnerswere as impressive as ever.
Held on 18 May, at the SheratonPremier Hotel at Tysons Corner,Virginia, this year’s banquet attendeesincluded many of the Foundation’sFounders Group, led by formerCommandant, General Charles C.Krulak, USMC (Ret). FormerCommandant, General Carl E. Mundy,Jr., USMC (Ret) was also in attendance.The United States Marine Band heraldedthe opening of the evening’s events andplayed through the early stages of thedinner. The master of ceremonies wasthe popular local newscaster, and formerMarine, Gordon Peterson. The twoguests of honor were the Commandantof the Marine Corps, General MichaelW. Hagee, and Congressman JohnMurtha, of Pennsylvania’s 12th District.General Hagee’s remarks were encour-aging and supportive of the Foundation
and the National Museum of the MarineCorps, as well. Congressman Murtha, alongtime and valuable supporter of theMarine Corps, was held up by congres-sional business and could not attend, buthis chief of staff was present to offer afew words and to accept an award onbehalf of the Congressman.
But in an evening of superlatives, thefocus remained on the award winners.Col Raymond A. Hord, Foundation VicePresident for Marketing andDevelopment, presented the awards andkept the pace lively.
The Colonel Robert D. Heinl, Jr.Award, for the preceding year’s bestMarine Corps-related nonfiction article,was given LtCol Ronald J. Brown,USMCR (Ret), for his dramatic andevocative article in the November 2003issue of Leatherneck magazine, “GeorgeWallis Hamilton: The Forgotten Hero ofWorld War I.” LtCol Brown’s expertand colorful account of Major GeorgeHamilton at Belleau Wood, Soisson, St.Mihiel, and Blanc Mont, establishesthat, in the company of World War I’sfighting heroes, Hamilton’s courage andvalor was second to none. The article ishistorical writing at its finest, reflectingdogged archival research, talented writ-ing, and respect for the traditions andhistory of the Marine Corps.

aviator. This year the Geiger Awardwinner was Col Robert S. Walsh, for hisMarine Corps Gazette article, “NavalTacAir Integration:Capabilities-BasedRelevance.” In aclose competition,Col Walsh’s exami-nation of the impactof integrating Marineand Navy aviationassets concludes thatMarine air will beenhanced and mademore relevant incombat. Col Walsh,an air group com-mander, melds pro-fessional experienceand doctrinal expert-ise to make the casethat aviation integra-tion should beembraced as anaffordable operational plus.
The Master Sergeant Tom BartlettPhoto Award is given for the precedingyear’s three best Marine Corps-relatedstill photographs. The award is namedin recognition of the noted formerLeatherneck photographer, writer, andeditor who served four tours in Vietnamas a combat correspondent. After retire-ment from active duty, he joined theLeatherneck staff,where more than 900of his articles werepublished, usuallyillustrated with hisown photographs.This award will bepresented at theFoundation’s 10November MarineCorps BirthdayLuncheon.
The 2004 firstplace Bartlett Awardwent to PH1 ArloAbrahamson for hisphotograph of anexhausted Marinecompleting a day of
loading gear for a re-supply convoy des-tined for fellow Marines on the front linein Iraq.

The third placeBartlett Award went toPH2 (SW) ToddReeves, of FleetCombat Camera,Atlantic. PH2 Reeves’dramatic picture of aMarine from 2d FASTCompany freezes arifleman as he boards asuspect ship, stoppedduring maritime inter-
ception operations in the Mediterranean.The Sergeant Major Dan Daly
Award, funded by LeatherneckMagazine, is for the preceding year’sbest article from a post or station period-ical, authored by a Marine Corps enlist-ed writer. The award is named in honorof one of the Corps’ greatest heroes,SgtMaj Daniel Daly, who was awardedtwo Medals of Honor for separate acts of
heroism. It is appropri-ate that the Daly Award,named for an enlistedMarine, be awarded toan enlisted Marine.
The 2004 DalyAward was given toSSgt Jonathon Moor,for his article entitled,“Oldest Marine FoundLiving in Syracuse,NY.” Written by SSgtMoor while assigned toRecruiting Station,Buffalo, New York, thestory recounts the find-ing of Eugene Lee in theretirement ward of aNew York hospital, and
his subsequent interview. SSgt Moorwrites movingly of the 104-year old’sstill-vivid memories of fighting inBelleau Wood, where he earned theSilver Star. SSgt Moor’s writing bringsa warmth and humanity to the accountthat captures and holds the reader’sattention.
The Major Norman Hatch Awardgoes to the photographer, military orcivilian, of the preceding year’s bestMarine Corps-related motion picture orvideo dealing with a historically relatedtopic. It’s length may vary from full-feature length, to as brief as 10 minutes.The Award is named in recognition ofthe renowned World War II combatmotion picture photographer, MajorNorm Hatch who, as an enlisted Marine,filmed several Pacific island assaults,including the landing on Tarawa whileunder fire in the first wave. His film,“With the Marines At Tarawa,” wasawarded the 1944 Academy Award forbest short subject.
This year, the Norman Hatch Awardwas presented to LCpl ChristopherBodily, for his film, “Field MedicalService School, Marine Corps Base,Camp Pendleton.” LCpl Bodily turnedwhat might have been a mundaneassignment into an artful and respectfulaccount of an often overlooked but criti-cal Navy unit that trains corpsmen about

to serve with Marine commands. Alongwith several of his family, LCpl Bodilywas present to accept his award, havingcome from his present command onOkinawa, Japan.
A panel of Marine and civilian com-munications professionals selected thefirst, second, and third place HatchAward winners in a blind competition.In an unanticipated and unique circum-stance, films by LCpl Bodily also wonsecond place and third place honors; heswept the competition.
The Colonel John H. Magruder IIIAward is given for the preceding year’sbest Marine Corps-related museum dis-play, exhibit or restoration. The awardhonors Colonel John Magruder, a WorldWar II ground officer, and one of theMarine Corps’ foremost historians who,at Quantico, founded the first MarineCorps museum.
The 2004 Magruder Award went toBoston’s USS Constitution NavalHistorical Center Detachment (WilliamMoss, Museum Technician), for theirperiod reproduction of shipboard Marinequarters, a work of imagination andoriginality that makes Marine Corps his-tory live.
The Colonel John W. Thomason, Jr.Award recognizes excellence in the fineor applied arts, including art in anymedium, and photography, in depictingeither the historic or contemporaryMarine Corps. The award honors ColJohn Thomason, who was not only oneof the most vivid and widely read writ-ers of his day, but one of America’s mostpopular illustrators. He wrote and illus-trated such classic Marine-centeredbooks as Fix Bayonets, …and A FewMarines, and Salt Winds and Gobi Dust.
The 2004 Thomason Award was pre-sented to Sgt John M. Carrillo, of theMarine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego,California. Sgt Carrillo, recently a com-bat artist in Iraq, produced five note-books of pencil sketches from the com-bat zone. Through his art he tells theMarine Corps story of foreign combat.His watercolors capture the emotion andtenseness of battle, revealing his sub-
jects as not only fighters, but as humanbeings in conflict.
The General Wallace M. Greene, Jr.Award is given the author of the preced-ing year’s best Marine Corps-relatednonfiction book. The Award recognizesand honors the memory of the 23dCommandant of the Marine Corps, a fre-quent writer of articles and essays.
The 2004 General Wallace M.Greene Award went to The March Up:Taking Baghdad with The 1st MarineDivision, co-authored by F.J. “Bing”West, and MajGen Ray L. Smith, USMC(Ret). The March Up is an illuminatingand perceptive book. Much more than“embedded reporters,” the authors werevirtual combat participants in the MarineCorps’ fight from Kuwait to the enemycapitol. Mr. West and Gen Smith,Marine combat veterans of other daysand other battlefields, joined I MEFMarines in their fight through theenemy’s heartland, acting as uniquelyknowledgeable and expert observers.They provide a detailed account oftoday’s Marines in combat, showing thaton today’s electronic battlefield it stillcomes down to courage in the face ofenemy fire. The March Up is part first-person account, part classic historicalchronicle, and all riveting combatrecord.

recognition of his tireless work in bring-ing the National Museum of the MarineCorps to fruition and reality. GenKrulak’s brief remarks, honoring hismother, were quite moving.

Foundation-Supported InternProgram Again Pays
DividendsSince its inception, the History and
Museums Division's college/summerintern program has continued to flour-ish. This past year was no exception.Funded by the Marine Corps HeritageFoundation, which provides a smallstipend of $50.00 per day, or $6.25 perhour, to defray incidental, lunch, andtransportation expenses, the programconsists of two categories of interns:those who perform their duties for col-lege credit and those who volunteer on
their own, with school recognition givenfor the experience they receive in theinterchange with civilian archivists,curators, historians, and active dutyMarines. In 2004, 11 interns served invarious offices throughout the division.
At Museums Branch at Quantico,interns helped on the reconciliation ofthe images selected for the NationalMuseum of the Marine Corps; helpedprepare small arms for the exhibits in theNational Museum; and assisted with anumber of small uniform projects. Thispast summer, Meghan A. Sullivan, a stu-dent at the University of Kansas,Melissa Barrett, a graduating senior atLongwood, Kimberly Corbett, an enter-ing freshman at The College of Williamand Mary, and Andrew Raisch, an enter-ing plebe at West Point, assisted the reg-ular staff with these duties.
The remaining interns worked along-side staff members at the HistoricalCenter in the Washington Navy Yard.Assigned to the Reference Section,Jennifer A. Colby, a student at KenyonCollege in Ohio, and Stephanie D.Boyer, a student at Mary WashingtonUniversity in Virginia, helped with unitrecords research in preparation forupdating unit lineage and honors certifi-cates, reviewed command chronologiesto identify recent deployments, helpedto identify hundreds of historical photo-graphs and reorganize photographicfiles, and assisted visiting researchers inlocating requested records and files.
Working with the division’s librarianwere Janet Nahrstedt from GeorgeWashington University and ErinMcAdams of Marymount College ofVirginia. The library’s interns assistedwith the ongoing anthology ofOperations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom;compiled bibliographies of holdings onMarines in Central America and China;and prepared the “book notes” section inthe division’s newsletter, Fortitudine.Adam Hill, a high school student inVirginia, compiled a listing of the videosin the library’s collection and workedwith the base newspapers and rare books.
The remaining two interns were
assigned to the division's combat art sec-tion. Meghan J. Rivers, a master’s can-didate in The George WashingtonUniversity museum studies programwrote the script for a pending art exhib-it, co-authored an article for Fortitudine,and assisted with the ongoing inventoryof the art collection. Her inventoryefforts included research, interleaving,digital photography, and data entry. Agraduate of the same program, ElizabethScott assisted with researching of a largeimage project and was instrumental inconducting the art inventory. Her effortsin the inventory centered on databasemanagement, data entry, and digital pho-tography.
While the individual investment inthe program is small, the dividends aregreat. The students not only acquirehands-on experience, but are exposed tothe history of the Corps and the men andwomen who served in it.
