George Catlett Marshall Medal
George Catlett Marshall Medal
Description
The GEORGE CATLETT MARSHALL MEDAL is awarded annually for selfless service to the United States of America. This implies service in more than one area or under extraordinary circumstances. For example, when a military figure is considered for the Award, it will not be awarded only for military service unless such distinguished service was performed under extraordinary circumstances. Total service should normally include public service after military retirement or separation from military service. The word "public" may include civilian assignments in government, or service with nonprofit organizations, or leadership in patriotic movements, or like activities. Additionally, the recipient should be known nationally and must agree to be present at the Marshall Dinner to receive the Award. Normally, currently-serving elected and appointed government officials are not eligible. Ideally the last service should be reasonably current. The award was established in 1960.
