CITATION
Distinguished Service Medal
For
Richard Barnhart
In this technology-driven, Twenty-First-Century world, one of the most valuable assets any organization can have is a well-designed, user-friendly website.
Richard (Rich) Barnhart is a retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant and computer systems manager employed by Stephen F. Austin State University. When he heard that the Pineywoods Detachment of the Marine Corps League needed a website, he personally assumed responsibility for design and development of a website. This was accomplished within two days of receiving the request from the Detachment.
Barnhart continues to maintain hands-on control of the daily operation and continuous improvement of the Detachment website he designed. In addition, he joined the Marine Corps League and accepted assignment as the Detachment Web Sergeant.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our new member for his outstanding and generous service to the Pineywoods Detachment, the Marine Corps League, the United States Marine Corps, and the United States of America.
It is with great pride that we present to Richard (Rich) Barnhart the Distinguished Service Award-Bronze.
