ORONO – The Black Bear Battalion’s Cadet Anders C. Hamlin of Milo has been named the George C. Marshall Award winner from the University of Maine.
Given annually, the award is presented to the most outstanding cadet in the Army ROTC program at the University of Maine. The award is named in honor of Army Gen. George C. Marshall, who served as the Chief of Staff of the Army and secretary of both state and defense. He was the author of the restorative Marshall Plan and was the only career soldier to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize.
Cadet Hamlin was selected for his professional excellence, leadership, personal integrity and selfless service to the nation.
He is a great example of the scholar-athlete-leader that Army ROTC looks for and instills in America’s young men and women, according to the UMaine ROTC, and will make an outstanding Army officer to be remembered by the Black Bear Battalion for years to come.
Hamlin, a 2002 graduate of Milo High School, is the son of Neil and Barbara Hamlin of Milo. He will be commissioned on May 13 as an infantry officer and initially will be assigned to Fort Benning, Ga., for training.
