Please Help Us
The Association lost many records in the fiasco of the Virginia Beach office. Several recipients of the Non Sibi, Sed Patriae award have expressed an interest on forming a Non Sibi, Sed Patriae Society as a part of the Association. Unfortunately we no longer have the records of who has received the award. We ask the membership to help us out in this matter.
 The e-WORD March-April 2010 HONORS SENATOR DANIEL INOUYE ON MARCH 24 WITH THE FRANK TEJEDA AWARD |
The Association honored Senator Daniel Inouye on 24 March 2010 with the Frank Tejeda Leadership Award. This
award is presented annually to a member of the U.S. Congress who has supported the Total Force Marine Corps
and National Security. Senator Inouye is a Medal of Honor recipient for his service during World War II. On 21 April 1945, First Lieutenant Inouye, while attacking a ridge, directed his platoon in capturing an artillery and mortar position. He crawled up a slope and neutralized two machine gun emplacements and continued fighting, although wounded, until a grenade shattered his right arm. He refused evacuation and continued directing his men. 
The Honorable Mr. Inouye is an eight term senator for the State of Hawaii and is the second most senior
member of the Senate. He serves as the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations. The
Association held the award ceremony on the "Top of the Hill" in the Reserve Officers Association building.
Music was provided by a quintet from the "President's Own." 
In attendance were representatives of our corporate sponsors of the event, General James Conway, Commandant
of the Marine Corps, Lieutenant General Thomas Waldhauser, Deputy Commandant, PP&O, Lieutenant General
Willie Williams, Director Marine Corps Staff, Lieutenant General John F. Kelly, Commander, Marine Forces
Reserve, Major General James L. Williams, Commanding General, 4th Marine Division, and Brigadier General
James Lariviere, Director, Marine Corps Reserve.
Sometimes, when planning Association events, things don't turn out as expected. Senator Inouye was greatly
honored by his selection for the award, however, due to his required presence on the floor of the Senate for
votes on the "Health Care Repair" bill, he was unable to attend the event. In his place a member of his staff
accepted the award on behalf of the Senator. Those in attendance were disappointed that the Senator could not
be present for the award ceremony, but in the end it was a good opportunity for members of the Association to
interact with Marine Corps and Marine Corps Reserve leadership.
