We will also take this special occasion and have General John F. Kelly, USMC (Ret) present the first National General Alfred M. Gray Jr. Award for Excellence. This award will be given to a Marine on active duty or honorably discharged from the Marine Corps who exemplifies the integrity of the Marine Corps and is making an outstanding contribution in education or community service.

The prestigious Semper Fidelis Award is presented annually by the Marine Corps University Foundation to a noteworthy American.

Past recipients include Lieutenant Governor of Virginia Winsome Earle-Sears, Medal of Honor Recipient Colonel Harvey "Barney" Barnum, Jr., USMC (Ret), Presidents George H.W. and George W. Bush; Clint Eastwood, George Will, General James Mattis, USMC (Ret), the Honorable Antonin Scalia and Mr. Ted Williams, just to name a few. View a list of all past recipients HERE

Events like the Semper Fidelis Award Dinner are hosted in support and to support the Marine Corps University's Professional Military Education (PME) of Marines around the world. We are planning an excellent event this year and hope you will plan to join us.
