2019 MOWW Convention Book.” The Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW, Inc.) is a premier, patriotic Veterans Service Organization (VSO) whose motto is, “It is nobler to serve than to be served.” MOWW was founded at the suggestion of General of the Armies John J. "Blackjack" Pershing in 1919 and established through the leadership of Major General George H. Harries from 1920-1925 to promote good citizenship, patriotic education, and military and public service. MOWW chapters provide opportunities to support patriotic education, ROTC and JROTC, scouting, veterans, monuments and memorials, law and order, and national and homeland security programs, to name just a few. Being a MOWW Companion is more than wearing a membership pin. It is about who we are, who we serve, and what we volunteer to do together— “serving youth, community and nation.” HQ MOWW | Arlington, Virginia, USA www.moww.org 2019 Centennial MOWW Convention Book P a g e | 1 www.moww.org | “ Serving Youth, Community and Nation ” 2019 Centennial MOWW Convention Book P a g e | 2 “It is nobler to serve than to be served” General of the Armies John Joseph Pershing, AUS (Retired) | The Inspiration for MOWW Major General George Herbert Harries, AUS (Retired) | The founding CINC of MOWW (1920-1925) www.moww.org | “ Serving Youth, Community and Nation ” 2019 Centennial MOWW Convention Book P a g e | 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS WELCOME 5 Welcome | Commander-in-Chief, MOWW GUIDANCE 6 Dignity of the Order 7 MOWW Strategic Plan (2018-2019) Summary 8 MOWW Convention Rules 9 MOWW Convention Delegate Information 10 National Candidate Presentations & Region Caucuses CONVENTION 11 MOWW Convention Agenda 12 MOWW Convention Tours 13 Grand Vista Hotel Floor Plan 14 2019 MOWW Convention & General Staff Meeting Agenda 17 2018 MOWW Convention & General Staff Meeting Minutes 20 Executive Leader Biographies ANNUAL REPORTS 23 Commander-in-Chief & CEO, MOWW, Inc. | LTC Hollywood 37 Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief | LTC Chamberlin 40 VCINC | BGen Lopez 42 VCINC | CDR Hartmann & LTC Okin 44 VCINC | Maj Williams 47 VCINC | CPT Mitchell 49 Chief of Staff & COO, MOWW, Inc. | Brig Gen Morrill 72 Chair, MOWW, Inc., Board of Trustees | PCINC LTC Titus 73 Treasurer General & CFO, MOWW, Inc. | LTC Walker 76 Judge Advocate General | COL Moriarity 77 Surgeon General | Dr (CPT) Mallin 78 Chaplain General | LTC Brady 79 Historian General | LTC Fowler 80 GSO-E | CDR Parsons 81 GSO-E | LTC Rapp 82 GSO-E | COL Burtnick 83 GSO-E | LTC Moss II 84 GSO-E | LTC Munson 85 GSO-A | COL Tulak 88 GSO-A | Lt Col Ruiz 89 GSO-A | MAJ Jones 90 GSO-A | SGM Culbertson 91 GSO-A | LTC Mas 92 Region I | LTC Christo 94 Region II | BG Estes 97 Region III | LTC Wilgen 99 Region IV | CDR Baumgarten 101 Region V | CAPT Massey www.moww.org | “ Serving Youth, Community and Nation ” 2019 Centennial MOWW Convention Book P a g e | 4 102 Region VI | LTC Conover (Acting) 104 Region VII | LTC Widner 107 Region VIII | COL Foust 109 Region XIII | Lt Col Ruiz 111 Region XIV | Lt Col Worley 114 Chapter Activities & Awards Committee | CAPT Massey 115 Constitution & Bylaws Committee | PCINC LTC Engen 126 Education & Training Committee | Lt Col Goldberg 127 Ethics Committee | PCINC Col Way 128 Finance Committee | Brig Gen Morrill & LTC Walker 135 Historical & Archives Committee | HG LTC Fowler 136 Homeland Security Committee | HPM Hollywood 138 Information & Publicity Committee | LTC Munson 139 Law & Order Committee | Maj Haney 140 Legislative & Resolutions Committee | LTC Moss 141 Magazine Committee | PCINC LTC Hamilton 142 Membership Committee | CAPT Dombeck 143 Monuments & Memorials Committee | LTC Shott 144 The Military Order of the World Wars-Pershing Rifles Group Committee | LTC Wilgen 145 National Security Committee | Capt Haddock 146 Nominating Committee | PCINC COL Le Grande 147 Patriotic Education Committee | Lt Col Dunlap 151 Reserve Officer Training Corps Committee | CDR Mandigo 153 Scouting Committee | COL Schlegel 157 Strategic Planning Committee | IPCINC Col Gibson 158 Veterans Affairs Committee | LT Laidlaw RECOGNITION OF EXCELLENCE 159 Gold Patrick Henry Awards | CINC, SVCINC, VCINCs & IPCINC 164 National Citations DISTINGUISHED LEADERS 166 Honorary Commanders-in-Chief 166 Past Commanders-in-Chief 167 Companions Emeritus www.moww.org | “ Serving Youth, Community and Nation ” 2019 Centennial MOWW Convention Book P a g e | 5 www.moww.org | “ Serving Youth, Community and Nation ” 2019 Centennial MOWW Convention Book P a g e | 6 DIGNITY OF THE ORDER The Dignity of the Order is applicable to all Companions at all times in all forums and gatherings, and in all forms of communication. It was founded on selfless service, courtesy and companionship. It operates using its organizational structure as supported by the democratic process. While discussion is encouraged, we should never forget that every Companion is an officer or a hereditary family member of an officer. Thus, every Companion is naturally a gentleman or gentlewoman. As such, they should be afforded every dignity—regardless the forum, the means of communication or the issue. Respectful treatment is always due every Companion, just as it is for those Companions holding any office or position within the Order. Latitude will be allowed during the debate process to allow all to express their views. However, the Order expects each Companion participating in such debates—regardless the forum, or whether in convention or not—to respect their fellow Companions always and exemplify dignity of the Order. Certainly, alternative views can be aired, and debate encouraged. Such things are the hallmarks of a healthy, vibrant and learning organization. However, any alternative views should be gracefully offered. Personal attacks on, or campaigns against, fellow Companions are strictly prohibited always in all forums via all means, whether in convention or not. Presentation of individual views must be expressed calmly and intelligently, and in a dignified manner. To do otherwise reflects negatively on the individual presenter, negatively impacts order, discipline and morale, and demeans the Order. For nearly a century, we have been a proud Order, known for its dignity, collegiality and contributions to America. Each of us, and all of us together, are expected to do our personal and collective utmost to maintain that storied tradition. NOTE: Convention attendees should silence cell phones, pagers, tablets, etc., during all convention activities and sessions, working groups and meetings. www.moww.org | “ Serving Youth, Community and Nation ” 2019 Centennial MOWW Convention Book P a g e | 7 MOWW STRATEGIC PLAN (2018-2019) SUMMARY MISSION: “To unite in selfless service to the United States of America” VISION: “To be a preeminent United States veterans service organization PREAMBLE: “To cherish the memories and associations of the World Wars waged for humanity; To inculcate and stimulate love of our Country and the Flag; To promote and further patriotic education in our Nation; Ever to maintain law and order, and to defend the honor, integrity, and supremacy of our National Government and the Constitution of the United States; To foster fraternal relations among all branches of the Armed Forces; To promote the cultivation of Military, Naval and Air Science, and the adoption of a consistent and suitable policy of National Security for the United States of America; To acquire and preserve records of individual services; To encourage and assist in the holding of commemorations and the establishment of Memorials of the World Wars; And to transmit all these ideals to posterity, under God and for our Country, we unite to establish … The Military Order of the World Wars" STRATEGIC GOALS: “To achieve outcomes vital to the Order and its chapters.” Strategic Goal 1 (SG-1): “Annually grow chapter membership by four percent, and annually increase Companion participation in chapter activities” Strategic Goal 2 (SG-2): “Strengthen chapter outreach programs” Strategic Goal 3 (SG-3): “Raise MOWW’s local and national visibility.” Strategic Goal 4 (SG-4): “Enhance leadership training and development” Strategic Goal 5 (SG-5).: “Promote Companion, chapter, and community recognition” MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE: “Measuring progress is vital to achieving Strategic Goals” www.moww.org | “ Serving Youth, Community and Nation ” 2019 Centennial MOWW Convention Book P a g e | 8 MOWW CONVENTION RULES The MOWW Constitution and Bylaws, the “Dignity of the Order,” and Robert’s Rules of Order, Newly Revised, govern MOWW Convention proceedings.
