LOCAL RESIDENT AWARDED

CERTIFICATE FOR LOYALTY & PATRIOTISM

George Barlow of Kill Devil Hills has a proud Marine heritage that he displays everyday on the Outer Banks—rain or shine.  Although George has never served in the Marine Corps, he owns and drives motorcycles that honors the Marine Corps service of his father, and his son, both Marine veterans.  George's father served as a pilot with Marine Bombing Squadron Four-Thirteen (VMB-413) during the Second World War, while his son served four years including, a tour in  Afghanistan.

George displayed both of his motorcycles recently at the Outer Banks Bike Show and received a personal visit from our Commandant, Doug Wendling.

In recognition of his efforts to honor and portray the Marine Corps in a favorable light, George was presented with the Marine Corps League "Certificate of Appreciation for Patriotism and Loyalty" at the 12 June 2007 meeting.  We extend our appreciation and best wishes to George for his noteworthy efforts.  Photographs of George's motorcycles and of the presentation of his Certificate of Loyalty and Patriotism may be viewed at Miscellaneous Photographs.
