The Veterans of the Office of Strategic Services will award the William J. Donovan medal
to an individual who has rendered distinguished service in the interests of the United
States and the cause of freedom. Any citizen of the Free World will be eligible.
The purpose of this award is to foster a tradition and spirit of the kind of service to
country and the cause of freedom which William J. Donovan rendered in both his private
and public capacities. He was the exemplar of the citizen-soldier-diplomat who valiantly
served his country and the cause of freedom throughout the world. This award, as a
perpetual parallel, will be made to an individual who, in his activities, exemplifies the
spirit, the tradition and the distinguishing features which characterized General Donovan's
career. These include a continuing concern for the world's security and safety, for the role
which the United States must play in the world, and for the rights, freedoms and welfare
of individuals in our society. Perhaps the most unique feature of General Donovan's life
was the continuing expression of these concerns in his private life and activities as well
as in public service.
Specifically, in General Donovan's career these features were expressed, as one of America's
leading citizen-soldiers, as ambassador, as intelligence chief, as assistant Attorney General,
as lawyer in the courtroom and in the office, as private traveler seeing what he could learn
for the benefit of his country.
The recipient of the Donovan medal will be an individual who has, in his own career,
outstandingly exemplified these features of Donovan's career. He will be selected by a
committee appointed by the President of the Veterans of the O.S.S.
The award will take the form of a medal, carrying a likeness of General Donovan.

Your committees are organizing a great evening on September 25 honoring
Jacques Chaban-Delmas. Now President of the French National Assembly,
Mr. Chaban-Delmas has had an interesting career characterized by his fearlessness
and dedication to his country which liken him to General Donovan. What free
time he has, he enjoys spending with wartime secret operatives.
To most of us the great joy of our meetings is seeing old friends and this year's
VS3 reunion gives us the chance to spend more time together than usual. We have
planned an informal dutch treat luncheon at the University Club in downtown
Washington at 1 p.m. on September 25. Informed speakers from our membership will
tel"1 us about current developments in both US intelligence and prime foreign
trouble spots. Afterward you can visit with friends or rest till the soiree begins.
On a more solemn note, with Mr. Chaban-Delmas we are dedicating an OSS plaque
to the Unknowa~ Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery at 10 a.m. on Wednesday,
September 26. We will also lay a wreath on General Donovan's tomb nearby. You
are all invited to join in these tributes of respect and affection for 109.
Wives and guests, of course, are welcome to all events. So please plan to be
free from midday September 25 until midday September 16. Details will appear
in our next regular mailing.
Our Margaret Wimsatt in Washington has blocked 50 rooms at the Washington Hilton
Hotel which must be reserved by September 5. Please advise her promptly if you
desire one of these reservations and about which events you plan to attend.
Let's get as many of our alumni, their families and your own guests as we can
to participate.in these events. We look forward to an exciting program.
