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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CROSS OF VALOR (a.k.a. Brigade Marine of the Year)<\/strong><br \/>\nThis award is given to the marine, officer or enlisted, that most exemplifies the spirit, image and attitude of the SFMC within a particular brigade\u2014the 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SWORD OF VALOR (a.k.a. Brigade Officer of the Year)<\/strong><br \/>\nThis 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SHIELD OF VALOR (a.k.a. Brigade Volunteer of the Year)<\/strong><br \/>\nThis award is given to the Marine who has made the most significant personal impact in community service efforts<br \/>\nwithin 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\u00a0writing a check doesn\u2019t. Candidates for this award should be chosen from marines in a particular brigade who have received the Community Service Citation within the past year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STAR OF VALOR (a.k.a. Brigade NCO of the Year)<\/strong><br \/>\nThis 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEGION OF VALOR (a.k.a. Brigade Unit of the Year)<\/strong><br \/>\nThis 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.<\/p>\n<p>Names highlighted in <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">c<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">o<\/span>l<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">o<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">r<\/span><\/span> went on to win the Honor Award at Corps level that same year.<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>2021<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cross of Valor (Brigade Marine of the Year):\u00a0<\/strong>TBA<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sword of Valor (Brigade Officer of the Year):<\/strong> TBD<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shield of Valor (Brigade Volunteer of the Year): <\/strong>TBD<\/li>\n<li><strong>Star of Valor (Brigade NCO (Enlisted) of the Year):\u00a0<\/strong>TBD<\/li>\n<li><strong>Legion of Valor (Brigade Unit of the Year): <\/strong>TBD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>2020<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Cross of Valor (Brigade Marine of the Year): <\/strong>Lee Richey, 349MSG\/2BN<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Sword of Valor (Brigade Officer of the Year): <\/strong>Stephen Sardeson , 301MSG\/2BN<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Shield of Valor (Brigade Volunteer of the Year):\u00a0<\/strong>Noble Hays, 3<span style=\"color: #000000;\">40MEU\/2BN<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Legion of Valor (Brigade Unit of the Year):\u00a0<\/strong>327MSG\/1BN, THE SCURVY DOGS<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>2019<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cross of Valor (Brigade Marine of the Year): <\/strong>Glenda Stephenson, 349MSG\/2BN<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Sword of Valor (Brigade Officer of the Year): <\/strong>Michael Denman, 324MEU\/2BN<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Shield of Valor (Brigade Volunteer of the Year):\u00a0<\/strong>Savannah Denman, 324MEU\/2BN<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Star of Valor (Brigade NCO (Enlisted) of the Year):\u00a0<\/strong>Stephen Sardeson, 301MSG\/2BN<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Cadet Star of Valor (Brigade Marine Cadet of the Year): <\/strong>Sarah Denman, 324MEU\/2BN<\/li>\n<li><strong>Legion of Valor (Brigade Unit of the Year):\u00a0<\/strong>301MSG\/2BN, STRIKE GROUP CERBERUS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>2018<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cross of Valor (Brigade Marine of the Year):\u00a0<\/strong>Glenda Stephenson, 349MSG\/2BN<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sword of Valor (Brigade Officer of the Year):<\/strong> Stephen A Sardeson, 301MSG\/2BN<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shield of Valor (Brigade Volunteer of the Year):\u00a0<\/strong>Laura Sardeson, 301MSG\/2BN<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Star of Valor (Brigade NCO (Enlisted) of the Year):\u00a0<\/strong>R.
