In 27 years, only 649 Soldiers have received the prestigious General Douglas MacArthur Leadership Award. Two of the 1st Infantry Divisions own were recognized today in Washington, D.C., by Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno for epitomizing the values championed by MacArthur: duty, honor and country. The 28 of you receiving this award this afternoon are clearly some of our most outstanding junior Army officers, Odierno said, pointing out that nearly all had served combat tours in Iraq, Afghanistan or both. You represent not only the best of the total Army, active, National Guard and Army Reserve, but also the very best that our nation has to offer. Join the Big Red One in congratulating Capt. Michael L. Hefti of the 3/1 IBCT and Capt. Kent B. Monas of the 1st Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, for their outstanding accomplishments. DUTY FIRST!
