The presentation will take place at the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the Association of the United States Army (GLAC AUSA) annual Army Ball on 23 June at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Huntington Beach, California.
The Outstanding Civilian Service Medal is one of the highest awards that the Department of the Army can bestow upon a civilian. The Army is recognizing Morgan for his significant dedication to supporting not just Soldiers but to all military serving their country – often in harm’s way.
Mr. Morgan just returned to the U.S. after completing his 10th USO Tour (his third with the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) to entertain U.S. military members stationed overseas. The eight-day tour visited seven countries and included stops in western Tokyo, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq and Spain as well as the Korean Peninsula where the U.S. Army veteran was once stationed. Mr. Morgan served in the Army for nearly two decades.
The 2018 GLAC AUSA Army Birthday Ball celebrates the 243rd anniversary of the Army. It is one of Southern California’s largest public events to recognize and honor local Soldiers for their service.
The ball is open to the public.
