The first year Of the reorganization
Of the goth Division Military Police
Company was q big one, according to
Gen. Stephan, who complimented the
organization in an oficial letter. He
said that he was pleased to note. of all
the tactical units in the Guard. that the
police company leads all in so far as
attendance for the year 1929 Is con-
cerned, He said that this was splen-
did record, of which the company
should feel proud, and commended the
officers and men for it.
Outside Of strict military duty" the
letter said, the goth Military Police
Company served with credit and re-
ceived special commendation for their
services and assistance on the evening
Of July 4, in connection with the In
dependence day celebration on the
Monument grounds: on November IL
in staging a most attractive ceremony
in connection with ArmiSttce day on
the steps of the United States Capitol,
at the behest Of officials of the United
| States, and in addition splendid service
was rendered by your organization in
| cooperation with the United States
| Army in their exposition held at the
| War College to provide funds for the
Army Relief Association.
In every instance when your organi-
cation was called upon to assist in
civic matters the response has always
been cheerful and prompt. The COM
handing general deeply appreciates
this fine public spirit and splendid CO.
| operation.
THE morale, esprit and efficiency of
the goth Military Police Company has
reached high standard and is due to
| the untiring efforts of It's commander,
together with junior officers, non-com-
miSsioned officers and enlisted men
The high standard in the 29th Military
| Police Company has been manifested
by the organization securing, at its
own expense, field uniform OF latest
design and Of better material than that
issued by the Government. The appear
ance OF the organization has been
greatly enhanced by this sacrifice made
on the part of the enlisted personnel
Of the organization.
THE duties of the military police
company are exacting and by proper
leadership can be brought to a high
state Of efficiency. From personal OBJ
servation I can say that the company
Is rapidly approaching a state of EN-
cheney far above the average. You will
soon be placed in contrast with similar
organizations of other divisions and II
behooves each and every oficer anc
enlisted man, alike, to put their Shout
ders to the wheel and cause the COM
pany Of the 29th Division to be rated
as the most efacient in the Sd Corps
Area.
These headquarters promises the
best cooperation in assisting the
29th Military Police Company to attain
the nigh ideals which it has set, con-
graduates you on your past years sue
cess and bespeaks a continuance Of your
efforts with. the feeling that your record
for 1880 will surpass that of 1929"
