Hey Marines or former Marines: CCHQ has come across some very nice (and relatively expensive) Merit and Distinguished Performance Award plaques that were never claimed at previous conferences.

If you are one of the names listed or you know who these Marines are, ask them to contact Executive Director Jack Paxton at usmccca@cfl.rr.com and he will arrange shipment. He will offer a deal. Become a member or renew your membership and he will waive the postage. They would look handsome on your office or den wall. You earned ‘em, come and get them.
