Third Brigade Valor Awards {| class="wiki-sidebar" align="right" border="2" style="background:#ffffff;" bordercolor="white" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"



Welcome to the Brigade’s finest. Valor Awards are given for two basic reasons, regardless of the organization. First, they are intended as tangible evidence of recognition for some achievement or service. Second, awards serve as a motivating factor. The SFMC awards program exists for these same reasons. Awards are indicated by ribbons, and worn on Class A uniforms. CROSS OF VALOR (a.k.a. Brigade Marine of the Year) This award is given to the marine, officer or enlisted, that most exemplifies the spirit, image and attitude of the SFMC within a particular brigade—the one who sets the standard for personal conduct, appearance, motivation, dedicated service and esprit de corps for which all STARFLEET Marines in that brigade strive. SWORD OF VALOR (a.k.a. Brigade Officer of the Year) This award is given to the Marine who most exemplifies the personal and professional standards of leadership valued by the Brigade. This individual, through their actions and words, has provided the highest standard of guidance and leadership to their fellow Marines, setting a standard of excellence for other leaders to follow. SHIELD OF VALOR (a.k.a. Brigade Volunteer of the Year) This award is given to the Marine who has made the most significant personal impact in community service efforts within the Brigade. This effort does not necessarily have to be on behalf of a SFMC campaign effort, and financial donations are specifically excluded as the basis for eligibility. Volunteering your time and hard work counts; simply writing a check doesn’t. Candidates for this award should be chosen from marines in a particular brigade who have received the Community Service Citation within the past year. STAR OF VALOR (a.k.a. Brigade NCO of the Year) This award is given to the Marine NCO who most exemplifies the personal and professional standards of leadership valued by the NCO Corps of a Brigade. This Marine NCO has made a significant personal impact in community service efforts throughout their area, and through their actions and words, have provided the highest standard of guidance and leadership to their fellow Marines, setting a standard of excellence for other NCOs to follow. LEGION OF VALOR (a.k.a. Brigade Unit of the Year) This award is given to the Brigade unit that most exemplifies the spirit, image and attitude of the STARFLEET Marine Corps within that Brigade. This unit should set the standard for conduct, appearance, motivation and activity for which all units in the Brigade strive.
