SER National Commander's Unit Citation Does anyone know correct dates?

[MarkJ]

As I understand it, SE Region Members, who were members at the time of the Deepwater Horizon Response, may now wear the National Commander's Unit Citation Ribbon.  Does anyone know the exact date of the official end to the mission?

Everything I've ever heard said it was FLWG only...

[HGjunkie]

Erm... FLWG got a UC award for everyone to wear, not sure about any other awards.

Just spoke to former SER Commander Col James Rushing who is a friend of mine.

FLWG was issued a Unit Citation but a National Commanders Unit Citation was never issued for SER

Wasn't there something else given to those who participated in the mission itself?

Are they bronze? Plaster? Marble? Composite? Other?

<_< I have no idea how I forgot about that. Seems like the standard award for it.

SER Wings AL, FL, GA, MS & TN were issued the NCUC at the NB, paperwork to follow.  Should be pictures  from the NB in Louisville.  Expect to see the NHQ authorization in the next couple of weeks after everyone gets back and caught up.

I know it is over 60 days, but has there been anything further published on this?    Thank you.

[JeffDG]

I just got an e-mail from our Wing Administrator...1-Apr-2011 through 30-Jun-2011.

It was awarded to the following units:
SE Region HQ
AL WG
FL WG
GA WG
LA WG
MS WG
MO WG
SD WG
TN WG

So, not exclusively SER

[RiverAux]

Was this all for DWH or are these for other missions as well?  Can't see that MO or SD sent enough people down there to justify giving the entire wing a UC.

[JeffDG]

I'm not 100% sure, but the item says:
"8.  The Civil Air Patrol NATIONAL COMMANDER'S UNIT CITATION AWARD is awarded to the following units for outstanding achievements, exceptional service, and high degree of performance during 1 April through 30 June 2011, effective 20 August 2011.  AUTHORITY:  CAPR 39-3."

Then the list of units I listed above.

   dwh was in 2010.
   gawg members who participated were awarded the pres dr with silver v, although dwh was not a pres declared disaster.
   i think the "v" attachments were bronze initially, but were changed to silver as the bronze represented valor under fire.

For clarification, was this NCUC awarded to all members within those Wings, or those members who participated in DWH missions? Has there been any additional information about this?

It's a "Unit" citation, so is awarded to the unit.  In terms of ribbons, all members who were members during the designated timeframe are entitled to wear.

[starshippe]

   again, if this was for dwh, the dates should have been in 2010. but, dwh lasted later than june.

I figured I would ask as I'm in FLWG and haven't heard anything about this as of yet.

For this year, I'm not sure what the SER folks were doing, but from April to June I know that LA Wing, MO Wing, SD Wing, etc. were dealing with the Mississippi River Flooding missions.

We worked our behinds off on that mission, and it was a very rewarding moment to receive the NCUC for our hard work.
