U.8. MARINE CORPS RECIPIENTS of the DEWEY MEDAL Edward S U.8. MARINE CORPS RECIPIENTS OF THE DEWEY MEDAL Edward S. Haynes Through the efforts of Chuck Bell and Arthur Weiss, medal collectors have been provided with a valuable reference tool in their publication OFFICERS AND MEN AT THE BATTLE OF MANILA BAY. This pamphlet gives a list of the recipients of the Dewey Medal, awarded in June 1898 for participation in the battle of 1 May 1898. It was not, however, until the early years of the twentieth century that badges and medals were awarded by the United States Government in recognition of these individuals’ services in the War with Spain and in other conflicts. Drawin~ from the somewhat fragmentary medal Rolls of the U.S. Marine Corps, it has been possible to reconstruct a number of these Dewey Medal groups and, hopefully, to take some faltering steps toward the reunion of broken groups. I want to express my deep gratitude to those ~o have aided me in filling gaps in the groups of several of these Marines. Many of my informants have requested anonymity and, in return for their continued assistance, I respect their wishes. To those who have aided me -- and you know who you are -- my deepest thanks. I could only hope that other members of OMSA and other medal collectors might be willing to help in the very difficult process of reuniting ~roups of medals which have been separated by chance, i~norance, or greed. In the lists that follow, the rank given for the recipient is that held at the time of the distribution of the campaign badges (ca. 1907-1909). In a few cases, the lists are misleading and gaps have been filled aS we!l as possible from other sources. It is suspected, however, that these thirty-six Marines were the only ones still in the Corps at the time of the distribution of the first campaign medals; for many years this status was required for the bestowal of the badges. It is likely in many cases that corresponding medals were awarded to other Dewey Medal recipients after the award of campaign badges was extended to all veterans. Since reliable data is lacking for actions later than the Cuban Pacification expedition of 1908, there may be oti~er medals in the groups of these t~arines which are not included in the following list.

It was also struck of bronze and is 32mm in diameter. On the obverse is a scene of Red Square and the Kremlin on V-Day with fireworks in the sky. Below this is the badge of the Order of the Patriotic War with the dates 1941 - 1995 and laurel leaves on both sides of the badge. The eight line inscription repeats the name of the medal and there are laurel branches on both sides. The 24mm ribbon is half red and half black and yellow stripes, the former ribbon of the Order of St. George. The certificate is signed by President Yeltsin and has a serial number.

  • General of the Armies John J. Pershing Synopsis: John Joseph Pershing Was Born in Laclede, Missouri, on September 13, 1860
    General of the Armies John J. Pershing Synopsis: John Joseph Pershing was born in Laclede, Missouri, on September 13, 1860. He graduated from West Point and went on to fight in the Indian wars as well as the Spanish- American War and the Philippines insurrection. In World War I, he commanded the American Expeditionary Force in Europe as General of the Armies, helping bring an end to the war. He quietly retired after the war and was buried with honors at Arlington National Cemetery. Early Life: John J. Pershing was the first of eight children born to John F. Pershing and Anne Elizabeth Thompson Pershing of Laclede, MO. John’s father was a prosperous businessman, working as a merchant during the Civil War and later owning a general store in Laclede and serving as postmaster. The family lost most of its assets during the panic of 1873, and John’s father was forced to take a job as a traveling salesman while John worked on the family farm. After high school graduation, John J. Pershing took a job teaching African American students at Prairie Mound School. He saved his money and then went to Missouri Norman School (now Truman State University) for two years. Though he grew up in an era of Civil War heroes, young John had no desire for a military career. But when an invitation to take the exam for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point came his way, he applied and received the top grade. Though not a great student (he would place 30th in a class of 77) he was elected class president, and his superiors noticed his leadership qualities.
