Armed Forces--Awards

Gregory A. Wynn chronicles the 2020 annual meeting of the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA) at the National War College (NWC) in Washington, D.C. Wynn highlights the difficulties encountered and overcome with carrying out the meeting in the midst of a pandemic, and he praises the staff of the NWC for employing technology to allow for online participation. Wynn notes the various panels and speakers, and he lists the winners of various TRA awards from book awards to the USS Theodore Roosevelt Junior Officer Leadership Award, the Bertha B. Rose Award, and a special TRA Medal of Honor for Public Service to James N. Mattis.

Five photographs, a book cover, and the front and back covers of the meeting program illustrate the report.
