Two Additional State Department Awards E, J, Fischer TWO ADDITIONAL STATE DEPARTMENT AWARDS E, J, FISCHER Several years ago a short article appeared in The Medal Collector which described medals awarded to State Department employees. At that time, the Department used a three medal system to reward meri- torious service, a Vietnam Service Medal, and two bravery decora- tions. The award system expanded when two other wearable medals joined the system several years ago. The John Jacob Rogers Award and the Wilbur J. Carr Award were named for distinguished former Foreign Service Officers; these awards honor retiring employees. Illustrations of both medals accompany this article. The first decoration, the John Jacob Rogers Award, may be presented by Assistant Secretaries of State to career employees of any rank below that of Assistant Secretary or Ambassador. Nominations must demonstrate that the proposed recipient performed with unusual dedication or distinction over a 25-year Cor more) period of employ- ment. The uniface silver gilt medal measures an inch and one- quarter in diameter and bears the Great Seal of the United States superimposed on a globe in the center. An oak wreath surrounds this design and the inscription "JOHN JACOB ROGERS AWARD U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE" lies between the wreath and the medal’s rim. The 1 7/16 inch wide ribbon contains a 1/8 inch white stripe, a 5/16 inch blue stripe, a 1/8 inch white stripe, a 5/16 inch purple stripe, a 1/8 inch white stripe, a 5/16 inch blue stripe, and a 1/8 inch white stripe. The reverse of the medal bears a silver hallmark and the Cengraved) recipient’s name and date of award. An award certificate and lapel emblem accompany the award. The Wilbur J. Carr Award may be presented by the Secretary of State to retiring career officers of Assistant Secretary ~Ambass- adorial) rank or above who have performed with unusual dedication and distinction for at least 25 years. The uniface medal has the same size and design as the Rogers Award, but it is struck in silver. The inscription placed on this medal reads "WILBUR J. CARR AWARD U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE." The ribbon, 1 7/16 inch wide, contains a 7/16 inch blue stripe, a 1/8 inch wide white stripe, a 1/4 inch wide red stripe, a 1/8 inch wide white stripe, and a 7/16 inch wide blue stripe. The reverse is flat with a silver hallmark at the bottom. The recipient’s name and the date of award are engraved on the reverse of the medal. An award cer- tificate and lapel emblem accompany this award. AUTHOR’S NOTE: I thank Ms. Kay Smith of the Department of State for the information which made this article possible. 25 JOHN JACOB ROGERS AWARD WILBUR J. CARR AWARD FOR YOUR INFORMATION Just a note to let readers of The Medal Collector know of a tele- vision broadcast (21 August) wh-i~-~h~v~unately, not been able to confirm by a printed article. This concerns the theft of three Medals of Honor (at least one, perhaps two, Civil War period, and one from World War I) and "other artifacts" from the Medal of Honor Museum of the Freedoms Foundation in Valley Forge, Pennsyl- vania. I noticed from the television pictures that the medals displayed seemed to be in frames without glass, and that the thieves left other medals behind, e.g. a World War I Navy Cross. - Carl S. Dolente, OMSA #4370. 26 IN THE NEWS SAILORS BURNED IN STARK ATTACK RECEIVE PURPLE HEARTS IN HOSPITAL San Antonio (AP) - Two sailors injured when Iraqi missiles struck the DSS Stark received Purple Hearts in ceremonies Wednesday at the hospital where they are recovering from extensive burns. Ray Dery, a spokesman for Brooke Army Medical Center, said the families of the two Navy petty officers were present when they received the medals from Rear Adm. David R. Morris. Lawrence Mark Bareford, 23, or Fredericksburg, Va., and James R. Wheeler, 28, of E1 Paso, were among the injured aboard the Stark when it was hit in the May 17 Persian Gulf attack. They arrived at Brooke, which has the U.S. military’s only burn center, May 20 and are now in satisfactory condition and doing well, Dery said. Dery said Bareford’s mother and father, Beale and Nancy Bareford, attended the ceremonies, along with Wheeler’s mother, Nan, and two brothers, Army Specialist 4th Class Walter Wheeler and Jonathan Wheeler. - The Houston Post, June Ii, 1987 (contributed by Cpt.

Wooding, OMSA #3754). LOUIS VAN IERSEL, 93, I~IGRANT HERO OF WWI By Burt A. Folkart, Times Staff Writer - Louis Van lersel, believed to have been the most highly decorated surviving veteran of World War I who then risked his life for his adopted homeland a second time when he volunteered for the Marine Corps in World War If, is dead at age 93. Van Iersel, believed to be the first non-citizen ever awarded the nation’s highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, also was the recipient of 14 other American and French decorations for heroism during the first world war. Twenty-four years later he served with the 3rd Marine Division on Bougainville during World War II, adding 27 .

  • Welcome Letter 2013 Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival
    Welcome Letter 2013 Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award Lin Hwai-min The ADF wishes to thank the late Samuel H. Scripps, whose generosity made possible the annual $50,000 Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award. The Award was established in 1981 as the first of its kind and honors chorographers who have dedicated their lives and talent to the creation of modern dance. The continuation of the award is made possible through the SHS Foundation and its President, Richard E. Feldman. Celebrated choreographer, director, and educator Lin Hwai-min will be presented with the 2013 Award by Joseph V. Melillo in a special ceremony on Saturday, July 27th at 8:00 pm, prior to the Forces of Dance performance at the Durham Performing Arts Center. The program will also include a performance of the solo from Lin Hwai-min’s 1998 work Moon Water, performed by Cloud Gate Dance Theatre dancer Chou Chang-ning. Mr. Lin’s fearless zeal for the art form has established him as one of the most dynamic and innovative choreographers today. His illustrious career as a choreographer has spanned over four decades and has earned him international praise for his impact on Chinese modern dance. He is the founder, choreographer, and artistic director of both Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan (founded in 1973) and Cloud Gate 2 (founded in 1992), and his choreography continues to be presented throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. While his works often draw inspiration from traditional elements of Asian culture and aesthetics, his choreographic brilliance continues to push boundaries and redefine the art form.

  • Informance 2008
    INFORMANCE - MARCH 26, 2008 How can we know the dancer from the dance?” – Martha Graham, Murray Louis, and Bill T. Jones I begin this Informance talk by thanking Linda Roberts and Lori Katterhenry. In early November (the 9th, to be exact), Lori asked me if -- in view of my “obvious enthusiasm and expertise” -- I would be interested in writing study guides for the three guest artist works of the 2007-08 MSU Dance Program: Steps in the Street, by Martha Graham; Four Brubeck Pieces, by Murray Louis; and D-Man in the Waters by Bill T. Jones. “We have never done this before,” Lori said, “and I know it is quite common in theater.” …“Great idea,” Linda Roberts declared the next day, “This information would be very useful for the Informance. I know the students are interested in discussing the movement philosophies and stylistic differences of the three choreographers, and the challenges these elements present in performing and bringing to life the reconstructed dances we are rehearsing.” A few days thereafter, Lori , Linda and I were brainstorming in Lori’s spacious executive office suite and I cautioned them that I was not a dance critic by training; I am an historian and biographer. They were well aware, and that was precisely the reason they asked me to become involved. They were looking for insights about the “historical” side to each work, the social and cultural circumstances that engendered them, the aesthetic contexts against which they were created. I then said that I was not sure I would end up doing actual “study guides,” per se.

  • Dance History – a Brief Overview
    Dance History – a brief overview French Court spectacles of the 16th & 17th centuries existed to glorify the state and the monarchy. They were essentially a mixture of art, politics and entertainment – plays, with musical interludes. Courtiers and noblemen wore heavy ornate costumes and masks and any dancing consisted largely of groups of people moving in intrictae patterns around the space. Women’s roles as such, were invariably played by men. Dancing was considered to be a very social activity and at the end of these evenings in court, the audience joined the noblemen and danced a long dance, often led by a royal or state official. During these centuries, ballet in France gradually progressed from this sort of entertainment for the court noblemen (who had little or no formal training,) into a professional art form. This was definitely helped along by Louis X1V, who started the process of the creation of the ‘Academie Royale de Danse’ in 1661. The purpose of the academie was to train dancers to perform in the King’s opera ballets. (Ballet & opera had not yet evolved into separate art forms.) The 18th century saw the age of the brilliant dancers, technical elements of dancing were inproved by the sheer raise in standard of the dancers. This century saw the rise of the so called ‘ballet d’action,’ in which stories unfolded purely through the dancers’ movements. In 1760, a dancer and choreographer, Jean Georges Noverre published his ‘Letters on dancing and ballets’ – which were very influencial on choreographers right across Europe. Noverre shunned the use of masks.
