Bronze Star

Awarded for actions during the Global War on Terror

 

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Executive Order 11046, 24 August 1962, takes the pleasure of presenting the Bronze Star Medal to Colonel Gill P. Beck, United States Army, for exceptionally meritorious service during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM during the period from 2 January 2005 to 14 June 2005, as Staff Judge Advocate, Task Force 134, Multi-National Force-Iraq, during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. His exceptional leadership resulted in increasing by 300% the prosecutions handled by the Central Criminal Court of Iraq, which is responsible for judging all suspected insurgents detained by Coalition Forces in the Iraq Theater of Operations. By ensuring that convicted terrorism sentences increased by 400%, he prevented attacks on Coalition Forces in the future. This also substantially contributed to the re-establishment of the Rule of Law in Iraq, the centerpiece of Government legitimacy and a key component of the Multi-National Force-Iraq's Campaign Plan. Additionally, Colonel Beck doubled the production of the Combined Review and Release Board which substantially enhanced Multi-National Force-Iraq's partnership with the Iraqi government. His actions are in keeping with the finest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, this command, the Multi-National Force-Iraq, and the United States Army.

 

 

Review of “The Pigeoneersâ€

By BG Gill P. Beck, U.S. Army Reserve

 

“The Pigeoneers†is a documentary film by Al Croseri that tells a great Army story about a thinking and adaptive Soldier, the type of Soldier who has always given the United States Army its edge in combat and in preparation for combat. This Army story is told through the eyes of Colonel Clifford A. Poutre, who at the time of filming was well over one hundred years old. The documentary film captures in a poignant manner the professionalism of Colonel Poutre and the passion he had for the United States Army Signal Corps Pigeon Service and his trusted pigeons.

 

“The Pigeoneers†reveals the commitment of a true Soldier, who as a child growing up near Saratoga, New York, slept on the floor, in his mind, to toughen his body for what he reviewed was his calling – service to our Nation in the United States Army. Like most Soldiers, he joined the Army not for glory or to obtain rank but rather to serve a higher, noble cause, the defense of our beloved country – the United States of America.
