Four Soldiers were awarded the Sergeant Audie Murphy Award and one military spouse was presented with the Margaret C. Corbin award during a ceremony held July 25 in Lincoln Hall Auditorium.
The SAMA recognizes noncommissioned officers for their significant contribution to the development of a professional NCO Corps.
The Corbin award honors the memory of Revolutionary War heroine Margaret Corbin, who stepped up to man her husband’s cannon when he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Fort Washington in 1775.
