On Saturday, March 10, 2007, Foundation guests will gather at The Sheraton Premiere Hotel at Tysons Corner, Vienna, Virginia, to honor The Honorable Zell Miller, former United States Senator and Governor of Georgia, best-selling author, university professor, and former Marine. Senator Miller enlisted in the Marine Corps shortly after the Korean War where he served for three years and attained the rank of sergeant. He often refers to his time in the Corps in his writings and speeches. In his book, Corps Values: Everything You Need to Know I Learned in

the Marines, he describes the values that his experience in the Marines taught him:

In the twelve weeks of hell and transformation that were Marine Corps Boot Camp, I

learned the values of achieving a successful life that have guided and sustained me

on the course which, although sometimes checked and detoured, I have followed

ever since.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Peter Pace, USMC, and the 34th Commandant of the Marine Corps, General James Conway, are invited Military Guests of Honor. Many former Commandants of the Marine Corps, U.S. Department of Defense officials, a majority of the Washington area Marine Corps senior leadership, members of Congress, and leaders from the private sector will also attend the event.

The Marine Corps University Foundation presented its first Semper Fidelis Award in 1985 to recognize a distinguished American leader whose commitment to personal and professional excellence embodied those qualities of leadership and character uniquely associated with the United States Marine Corps. In every year since, a greatly admired role model of public service has been selected to receive this unique Marine Corps salute. In being selected to receive the 2007 Semper Fidelis Award, Senator Miller joins previous honorees Senator Daniel Inouye, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, Vice President Dick Cheney, and the 41st President of the United States, George H. W. Bush. The Clorox Company is the 2007 Dinner Sponsor. Foundation Trustee and Chairman and CEO of Clorox, Mr. Donald R. Knauss, is the Dinner Chairman. Mr. Knauss, the Dinner Committee, and the Foundation Staff are planning an evening to remember. If you would like more information about the Dinner please contact: Patricia Monroe, Director of Special Events, email: pmonroe@mcuf.org, phone: (703) 640-6835.

At the dedication of the National Museum of the Marine Corps on November 10, 2006, President George W. Bush announced that Corporal Jason Dunham, USMC, will posthumously be awarded the nation’s highest decoration for valor, the Medal of Honor. While serving in Iraq, Corporal Dunham, who would have turned 25 on November 10th, used his helmet and body to protect his comrades from an exploding grenade. He never regained consciousness and died eight days later at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda. He is buried in his hometown of Scio, New York. Addressing Corporal Dunham’s parents, President Bush said, “As long as we have Marines like Corporal Dunham, America will never fear for her liberty.”

Corporal Dunham’s parents, Deb and Dan Dunham, represented “Those Who Gave All” at the Foundation’s 2005 Semper Fidelis Award Dinner.

FiRst Long WaR MaRine to ReCeive MedaL oF HonoR

December 2006

Dear Marines and Friends of the Corps,

Sometimes we must be reminded of the effect our Foundation has on others. Let me share a portion of an email I received from a Marine Colonel who has been in Iraq for eight months. His wife had sent him an email informing him of the great news I had shared with her regarding the Oppenheimer-Stein Scholarship for their two sons at Harvard. (This scholarship was established to support Harvard students who are Marine dependents. Our Foundation administers the funds.)

“Thanks for taking the time to call her… My family and I are indebted to you and the MCU Foundation for your continued generous support… I’ll be sure to stop by to say ‘Hi’ to you and your staff next time I’m at Quantico.”

Feedback like this really brightens our days and adds to the “psychic income” that comes with our service to the Foundation.

Speaking of brightness, our Major General John H. Russell Leadership Award Luncheon in New York City certainly lit up that part of town. Thanks to the generous underwriting support of our Luncheon Committee (Guy Wyser-Pratte, Joe Murphy, John Dowd, and Rob Hanke) and the attendance of other Trustees and friends, the lunch was a success in all respects.

Less than a week before this event, our first General Graves B. Erskine Distinguished Lecture of the academic year was held at the Marine Corps University. Our scheduled speaker, Ambassador John Bolton, was unable to attend but was ably represented by his deputy, Ambassador Terry Miller, whose son is a Marine Sergeant. It was a stimulating, enjoyable evening, and a great start for the Erskine Lecture series of this academic year.

In the August Foundation News, I mentioned that Graham-Pelton Consulting, Inc. was to assess our fundraising capabilities and report to our Executive Committee. The full Board was briefed at our Annual Meeting on 9 November. I’ll keep you informed of the results.

Finally, our 9 November meeting preceded a gathering at the new National Museum of the Marine Corps, which opened officially on 10 November. President Bush and other dignitaries attended. It is a most distinctive and dramatic structure — especially as it is seen while one heads north on Interstate 95! Be sure to visit it.

Let me be one of the first to wish you a Merry Christmas! I hope your Thanksgiving was all you hoped it would be. I know we are truly thankful to you for all you do and have done.

Semper Fidelis,

Thomas V. DraudeBrigadier General, USMC (Ret)

The Marine Corps University Foundation

mourns the death of our Honorary Trustee,

Brigadier General James F. Lawrence, USMC

(Ret). General Lawrence passed away on

September 18th at the National Naval Medical

Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and was laid to

rest with full military honors on November

27th at Arlington National Cemetery. General

Lawrence was one of the Foundation’s

first Trustees.

Born on March 17, 1918 in Rutledge,

Tennessee, General Lawrence grew up in

Cander, North Carolina, where he graduated

from Sand Hill High School. He joined the

Marine Corps Reserve while a student

at the University of North Carolina where

he graduated in 1941 with a Bachelor of

Science Degree in Commerce. Soon after the

attack on Pearl Harbor he was assigned to

active duty.

During World War II, General Lawrence

commanded a rifle platoon with the 1st

Marine Division and took part in the Battle

of Guadalcanal in 1942 and 1943. He later

served in Australia before participating in

the December 1943 Marine landing at Cape

Gloucester during the battle of New Britain

Island. For his actions there, he was awarded

a Bronze Star and Purple Heart. After the

war, General Lawrence did advanced work in

Asian Studies and completed the Japanese

Language School at Yale University before

serving in China and Japan for three years.

In September 1950, he served with an infantry

battalion in the 7th Marine Regiment and

landed at Inchon, Korea. In November of that

year, he was part of a U.S. force that found

itself surrounded by advancing Chinese units

at the Chosin Reservoir, a mountainous region

Brigadier general James F. Lawrence, UsMC (Ret) 1918 – 2006

in MeMoRiaM

near the present-day border

of North and South Korea.

Outnumbered ten to one,

the Marines fought one

of the most heroic battles

in U.S. military history.

During the battle, General

Lawrence’s commanding

officer cracked under the

battlefield pressure and

was relieved of his duties.

The executive officer

was severely wounded,

leaving General Lawrence,

then a major, to lead the

battalion. After five days

of fierce fighting, he and

his unit were able to

break through enemy

lines and make their way

to safety. Survivors of the

battle became known as the “Chosin Few.” General Lawrence was

awarded the Navy Cross and received a second Bronze Star for his

heroic actions.

After his combat service in Korea, General Lawrence returned to Washington, DC

and enrolled in law school at George Washington University, where he graduated

with honors in 1953. He then served as the Assistant Legislative Assistant to the

Commandant of the Marine Corps, senior legal officer in the Marine Corps Pacific

Command, and was a Military Advisor to the Assistant Secretary of Defense. From

1966 to 1972, as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs, he

was the Pentagon’s primary liaison with Congress. General Lawrence retired from

the Marine Corps in 1972, and from 1972 until 1992, he practiced estate law in

Springfield, Virginia with the firm of Clary, Lawrence, Lickstein & Moore.

His wife of 62 years, Diana; his daughter, Darrie Lawrence; his sons James and

Richard; a brother; and seven grandchildren survive General Lawrence.

General Jim Lawrence was a true gentleman who served his family and friends, his

Corps, and his Country well... to the end he was Semper Fidelis.o

The Marine Corps University Foundation’s

Command Support Program, which provides

professional military education to the Operating

Forces and supporting establishment, continues in its

popularity as seen by the graph below. It was initially

established in 1996 with funds from the Combined

Federal Campaign and what has become a yearly

grant from the Navy League of the United States, New

York Council to purchase books for Marine units. The

program is now an integral part of the Foundation’s

mission to enhance and enrich professional military

education and leadership to Marines outside of the

Marine Corps University. Since January, the Foundation

has sent books worldwide, including to units serving

in the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as

supported battlefield studies, staff rides, and visiting

speakers for units in Okinawa, Europe, and throughout

the United States.

adamson Chair speaks at Bases in iraq

In October, Dr. Christopher C. Harmon, the Foundation’s

Kim T. Adamson Chair of Insurgency and Terrorism spent a

week meeting with air, ground, and combat service Marines

inside Iraq.

Dr. Harmon made the unusual trip into the zone of conflict for

several related purposes. “I was there primarily to lecture on a

relevant counterinsurgency case — that of the French Army in

Algeria in the later 1950s,” said Dr. Harmon. “A second purpose

was to learn all that I could about the work of Marines deployed

to Iraq.”

The inaugural holder of Kim Adamson’s chair offered

three lectures on the Algerian War at different U.S.

military bases in western Iraq and spoke on “Terrorism

and Counterterrorism” at another. Audiences ranged from

several dozen Marines from 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines to

over 150 Marines, including several general officers, in

Camp Fallujah.

Dr. Harmon was pleased to link back up with former students

from his many teaching years at the Marine Corps Command

and Staff College (CSC), as well as former faculty colleagues

Dave Reist (former CSC Deputy), Tom Abel (former CSC faculty

instructor), and Ritch Rodebaugh (a logistician and a primary

host for this trip). These lectures for I MEF (Forward) Marines

complement other visits by the professor to II MEF Headquarters

last June, and to a unit of III MEF in Hawaii in November.

Dr. Harmon’s usual Professional Military Education subject in

such visits is the half-century old case study of Algeria. “France

did some things extremely well, and there are many thought-

provoking parallels to the environment in Iraq,” he notes. “There

is no shortage of differences as well. I find this a creative way to

prompt new thinking about counterinsurgency, which is a very

old subject.”

Dr. Harmon has been teaching the Algerian case study since

1988. Last spring, Thomas Ricks of the Washington Post

covered his seminar with the School of Advanced Warfighting in

Quantico. Dr. Harmon has published two books, most recently

Terrorism Today (Taylor and Francis), which has a place on the

Commandant’s Reading List.

Dr. Chris Harmon with Marines in Taqaddum, Al Anbar Province, Iraq

“I had one overriding feeling about

the experience, voiced on the last

evening to Major General Richard

Zilmer, USMC. The quality of the

conversations about the war, among

the Marines afar in those fields, is

very high. Whatever their differing

views of how the war goes, how well

the Iraqi security forces are standing

up, and whether democracy will

succeed in this foreign land, they

show a maturity and a sophistication

with the political, military, and human

sides of this conflict that is impressive

to a visitor. Marines really do

understand low intensity conflict.”

—Dr. Christopher Harmon

The Quatrefoil Club continues to flourish and gain interest

with the Captains stationed at Quantico. Our coordinator, Captain

Marcus Mainz, a student at Expeditionary Warfare School, has

done a superb job of ensuring our meetings do not conflict with

“graded requirements” or other distractions. (He informs me the

Club has become so popular he has a tough time deciding who

attends!) Let me share a few highlights from this year.

In early August, Captain Mainz met with me to discuss the focus

for the year. We decided that our guests should be individuals

who would not only serve to help train (“preparation for

certainty”) but also to educate (“preparation for uncertainty”).

With that in mind, our prospective guest lecture candidate

list expanded to include some of the superb faculty at the

Marine Corps University — especially some of the Marine Corps

University Foundation sponsored Chairs.

At our August meeting, we met with the Captains and laid out our

“Campaign Plan” for review and comment. It was well received,

especially the notion that we should not be preparing for the last

war, nor even just the current war. We should prepare for the

next war after this one as well.

September’s guest was Dr. Paolo Tripodi, the Donald Bren Chair

of Ethics and Leadership. Dr. Tripodi challenged the Captains

with a real life scenario: being a commander of a Belgian

parachute company in Rwanda. The company is protecting

2,000 refugees who would otherwise be slaughtered by their

foes. The company commander receives an order to move his

company, which would leave the refugees unprotected. The

commander knows that if he obeys the order the refugees will

be massacred. (“What now, Captain?”) Does he obey the order

or suffer the consequences of disobeying it? A lively discussion

followed and the Captains had an opportunity to think about and

discuss ethics with each other — and with an expert.

October’s meeting was an opportunity for the Captains to spend

an evening with our 29th Commandant of the Marine Corps,

General Al Gray. His discussion covered a wide range of topics

punctuated with General Gray’s unique sense of humor. Also

attending was MCU’s President, Major General Don Gardner.

At the end of the evening, I had the honor of presenting the

Foundation’s highest award, The General Leonard F. Chapman

Medallion to General Gray.

November’s meeting featured the Kim T. Adamson Chair of

Insurgency and Terrorism, Dr. Chris Harmon. He had recently

returned from Iraq and had much to share with those attending,

especially regarding his areas of expertise.

December’s meeting will have former Marine Captain, David

Danelo, who is now in Iraq as a writer. Dave is the author

of Blood Stripes and will provide a unique perspective as a

journalist — Marine.

I hope our 31st Commandant, General Charles C. Krulak, will be

the guest at the January meeting. He has been asked to speak

at MCU during the day and I won’t let him get away without being

our guest that night!

As you know, our Foundation funds the Quatrefoil Club through

the General Robert Barrow Distinguished Chair of Military

Studies, which I proudly fill. The Quatrefoil Club truly exemplifies

the fulfillment of our mission of enhancing and enriching

professional military education and leadership.

ambassador terry Miller discusses “Critical issues for the United states at the United nations” On October 12th, Ambassador Richard Terrell “Terry” Miller,

the U.S. Representative to the United Nations’ Economic

Social Council and a career member of the United States

Senior Foreign Service, spoke to an audience of 600 Marine

Corps University students, faculty, and Foundation guests at

the Fall Erskine Lecture. Ambassador Miller stepped in at the

last minute when Erskine speaker, The Honorable John R.

Bolton, United States Ambassador to the United Nations, was

unable to travel to Quantico because of a critical vote in the

U.N. Security Council. Ambassador Miller’s timely, challenging,

and thought provoking remarks led to a lively question and answer period.

Ambassador Miller served previously as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for

Economic and Global Issues in the Bureau of International Organizations and as

the Executive Assistant to the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International

Security. Prior to that, as the Director of the State Department’s Office of Economic

and Development Affairs, he was the lead United States negotiator for the United

Nations’ Monterrey Consensus on financing for development. He also served as the

Director of the offices of Agricultural and Textile Trade Affairs and Democracy, Human

Rights and Social Affairs, was the Deputy Director of the Office of Maritime and Land

Transportation, and the Deputy Coordinator for the original Summit of the Americas.

Overseas, Ambassador Miller has served most recently as the Deputy Chief of Mission

at the U.S. Embassy in Wellington, New Zealand. From 1990 to 1992, he was Counselor

for Political and Economic Affairs at the U.S. Embassy to the Eastern Caribbean in

Bridgetown, Barbados. From 1986 to 1990, he headed the U.S. Observer Mission to

the United Nations’ Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Prior

to that, he served as an advisor on economic and budgetary affairs at the U.S. Mission

to the U.N. in New York and held positions as the State Department’s desk officer for

the Economic and Social Council and as Vice Counsel and Commercial Officer at the

American Consulate General in Milan, Italy.

Before joining the Foreign Service, Ambassador Miller taught economics at the

University of Texas at Austin, where he did both his undergraduate and graduate

studies. He is also an accomplished singer and has performed as a soloist with choirs

in the United States and Europe. Ambassador Miller and his wife, Deborah, have

a son who is a Sergeant in the Marine Corps currently stationed at Parris Island,

South Carolina.

University, as well as the ability to underwrite new, special initiatives. It will also

allow us to increase support for educational programs for units serving in the

Operating Forces and supporting establishment.

ammunition for the Mind—

Giving Marines the Tools

to Excel in the Corps and

in life

Generations of Marines have proven to

be elite warriors because they are always

ready. Being part of this country’s premier

fighting force requires more than mere

physical fitness, it calls for mental fitness

– the sharpest minds. The mission of the

Marine Corps University Foundation is to

provide resources that enhance and enrich

the professional military education and

leadership of active duty Marines that will

give them the tools to excel in the Corps

and in life.

Ways to giveCash Gif tsYou may mail or bring your check to the Foundation’s office. You may also use your credit card to donate on our secure website:

www.mcuf.org.

Stocks, Bonds, or Mutual FundsIf you have securities that you have held for more than a year that have increased in value, you may transfer them to MCUF as a

charitable donation and bypass the capital gains tax. If your securities have decreased in value, you may sell them and make a

charitable donation to MCUF with some or all of the proceeds. This option creates additional tax savings because you receive a tax

deduction for the contribution and may be able to deduct a loss from other taxable income.

Matching Gif tsPlease check with your employer’s Human Resources Department to see if your company has a Matching Gift Program. Many

Foundation supporters take advantage of their company’s Matching Gift Program to match, double, or even triple their gift. Some

companies also match gifts from retirees, spouses, surviving spouses, and outside directors.

Memorial and Honor Gif tsThe Foundation would be honored to help you remember a loved one through a memorial gift. Family members often recognize

the importance that the Marine Corps and MCUF has played in the life of their loved one and wish to continue support of our

mission through a gift to the Foundation in their memory. At the donor’s request, a surviving family member will be notified of the

memorial gift.

You may also make a contribution “in honor of” a special person or occasion. The Foundation will send a special letter to the honoree

to notify him/her of the donor’s tribute gift. Both memorial and honor gifts may be unrestricted or designated to a specific fund and

are fully tax-deductible.

Invest in tomorrow’s leaders with a tax-deductible donation today!
