The Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) presented the George Catlett Marshall Medal to Medal of Honor recipients at its 2025 Annual Meeting and Exposition. Master Sgt. Earl Plumlee, accepting the award on behalf of the honourees, highlighted the Army's enduring values and unity.
The Marshall Medal, named after the distinguished Army officer and statesman George Catlett Marshall, recognises outstanding service. Previous recipients include The Army Noncommissioned Officer, The Army Family, and The American Soldier. This year, it honoured Army recipients of the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration.
Master Sgt. Plumlee, along with other retired officers and a former lieutenant, accepted the award. He stressed the importance of living up to the values represented by the Medal of Honor in daily life, emphasising the Army's adaptability and unity across different decades and conflicts. Despite technological advancements, Marshall's emphasis on integrity, discipline, and teamwork remains relevant today.
The Marshall Medal, awarded by the AUSA, serves as a reminder of the Army's commitment to excellence and selfless service. The recipients, Army Medal of Honor holders, embody these values, inspiring all soldiers to strive for the highest standards in their daily duties.
