Although this semester has flown by, it has also been an extremely important semester for future students of OU NROTC. This semester we have witnessed two extremely important events that will have im- pacts for many years to come. First, our annual Alumni reunion saw the highest participation that has been seen in recent years. It was amazing to see this large turnout and more im- portantly their engagement with our current students. Two weeks later the University an- nounced a very significant and generous donation to the ROTC programs at the University of Oklahoma from Jim and Miriam Mulva. Portions of this donation will support a full renovation of the Armory that is planned from May 2019 to June 2020. This generous donation will im- prove all the spaces in the Armory while maintaining the history of the building which will enhance the education and training of students for years to come. Along with the staff spending time planning for the Armory renovation and our tem- porary move during construction, the battalion remained extremely busy which is normal for the Fall semester. We are completing the Fall semester with 51 total students, including 23 Freshman.

  • 3Rd Battalion, 3Rdmarines Memories
    3rd Battalion, 3rdMarines Aug 2010 Washington DC Memories America’s Battalion History - Honor - Tradition - Brotherhood Young Corpsmen … vintage Marines 3/3 at 29 Palms, March 2010 Why we gather together: There is a Bible scripture that states “There is no greater love than one who gives his life for another.” Many gave their lives that we could be here this evening. While we were spared by fate from giving our lives, we were prepared to do so for our fellow Marines and Docs. That’s the essence of Marine love and that’s why we did what we did. We cared for one another then as we do today. There’s nothing more to say. It would be unnecessary or redundant to say that we would trust our lives to one another—simply be- cause we have already have and in more ways that we could ever imagine or recount. We’re alive today be- cause of the quiet and unassuming courage and compassion of those in this room tonight as well as many or our comrades who are unable to be with us or who are with us only in spirit. That’s why we’ve come from great distances and, for some, at great expense. We’ll never be able to repay one another. There really isn’t enough money in the world to do that. But we will forever remember each other. That’s why we’re here. That’s why we’re so proud to have been a 3/3 Marine in Vietnam and so proud to be a part of this celebration of remembrance so many years later.

  • Newsletter – 2016
    “The Aiguillette” The Society of White House Military Aides Summer 2016 June 3, 2016 Chairman’s Report – Summer of 2016 Dear Society Members, Let me list the accomplishments of our Advisors this last year as a measure of the success and direction of your Society: 1. Christmas Event - held in the elegant Decatur House compliments of the White House Historical Association, speaker was AMB Abelardo L. Valdez (Carter), Chief of Protocol for President Carter, sold out in 24 hours (some thought too fast) - Committee lead by Advisors Bill Sinnott (Carter / Reagan) and Veronica Richardson (Clinton). 2. 6th Annual Sr. Aide's Luncheon - hosted a roundtable at the Army Navy Club Farragut with the Honorable Ann Stock (Clinton Social Secretary), MAJGEN (Ret) Marcelite Harris (Carter), RADM Melissa Bert (Clinton) and COL (Ret) Carol Hattrup (Clinton) - This was a remarkable event, listening to women who "Leaned In" before the term was invented. Advisors Dave Pitcher (Nixon) and Rusty Johnson (Carter) organized this with a full house attending. They were assisted by Moderator Veronica Richardson and Advisor Kelly Brown (Clinton). Many Obama social aides attended. L-R: Marine Aide Glenn Gearhard, Air Force Aide Dale Jones, Coast Guard Aide Philip Matyas “Once and Future King?” 1 3. Lifetime Members, Facebook, and LinkedIn - Nineteen (19) members became Lifetime members this year, breaking the previous record last year of 17, and before that 15. Many were Obama aides so the younger circles are embracing the Society which bodes well for our future. Advisor Riordan led this effort. There are 126 members on Facebook and 50 on LinkedIn.

  • 38Th Officer Candidate Course and Basic Class 3-66 Participation in the Khe Sanh Hill Fights / Operation Beacon Star (Phase II)
    38th Officer Candidate Course and Basic Class 3-66 Participation In The Khe Sanh Hill Fights / Operation Beacon Star (Phase II) Dave Mellon Our 2017 Class Reunion was held in San Antonio, Texas. The Memorial Service on Friday, October 13, 2017 was held at the San Antonio Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the City’s Veterans Memorial Plaza, a brief walk from our host hotel, the El Tropicano . The focus of San Antonio’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a three times life size statue of a scene Marine Combat Artist Austin Deuel witnessed on April 30, 1967 during the assault on Hill 881 South. The scene was initially a sketch that Deuel made into a desk top bronze. The piece titled “Hill 881 South” was purchased by John Baines, a San Antonio real estate broker and developer, who founded and raised the funds for the installation of the statue as the centerpiece of San Antonio’s Vietnam Memorial. The statue is a singular moment in a series of battles that Marines fought with North Vietnamese Army regulars. The brutal battles took place between April 24, 1967 and May 12, 1967. Hill 881 South, located approximately 7.5 kilometers northwest of the Khe Sanh Combat Base, was one of the three dominant terrain features astride the infiltration route from the northwest. The others were Hill 881 North, 2 kilometers to the north of Hill 881 South, and Hill 861, which was approximately 5.5 kilometers from the Combat Base. Cumulatively, the battles became known as “The Khe Sanh Hill Fights” or “Operation Beacon Star (Phase II)”.
