/PRIORITY ONE 
STARDATE 2411.10.04 
MSGID HONOR 
TO ALL HANDS 
FR 7HQ 
SUBJ MAJOR AWARD ISSUED

Outside of its namesake, I cannot think of a more deserving individual for this award.  By order of the Fleet Admiral, the Augerson Medal of Honor is awarded to VADM Morgan Shackelford.

Mr. Shackelford has, time and again, stepped up to the challenges of Chief of Communications and Chief of Staff with an unwavering sense of duty - and a couple of times he did both at once.  He has held the office of Chief of Staff more than anyone else in the fleet. He was always available to hear from anyone one of us no matter how trivial the issue, and always responded.  

He kept us aware of all things going on with STO/Cryptic/Perfect World.  He gave many of us our ship's patches and updated the images of the patches that were already in place as the software an imaging technology advanced.  He updated the look and feel of our website and archived old information as needed.  He managed the Fleet Cafe Press store.   He updated the look of our Namebars and is still creating ribbons.  

Furthermore, he maintained himself as a formidable combatant in PvE and PvP.  He did three or more of these tasks for more than five consecutive years without much of a break.  And, though he took help from others when offered, I can only remember once that he openly asked for it.  He bore the burdens of these duties without complaint (maybe a grumble on occasion) and actually made doing them look easy to those of us that hadn't had to do them.  

By definition, he has in these positions shown us a level of dedication, nobility and courageous fortitude characterized by resolute fearlessness, and endurance with smattering of humility.  If asked, he would say he was just doing his job or what is needed.  For all of this history of hard work for the Fleet, and for all our enjoyment, I can think of no other award to issue than the Augerson Medal of Honor, as put forward by the Chief of Staff and by unanimous decision of the Senior Staff.

Signed,

JT Kerry

 Mr. Grumpy Pants had to show up in there someplace.  But, I after watching Shack do his thing with the website and all the art, at about year three I thought he's going to get some award for this...I just didn't think it would be me putting him up for it.

I know the time it takes to do this stuff.

JT

I finally have a couple minutes to make a quick post... I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone.  The ceremony was very moving and it was great to hear everyone's voices.  I was definitely surprised, to say the least.  I also enjoyed being shot at by all involved :)

I just wanted to chime in and say that this award is well deserved. Congratulations, Shack. You have always been there whenever the 7th has needed you and you are much appreciated for all that you do and have done.
