Rev. James MooreAs Beaufort Chapter Chaplain, Reverend Moore has served in this capacity in an outstanding manner providing spiritual and common sense leadership to the Chapter Presidents and National Officers. Often the first person called or contacted when a member is in distressed or has passed, Reverend Moore quickly goes into action contacting the families and on many occasions, making personal visits to comfort an aggrieved or family member. When the National Chaplain of the Association could no longer serve in his capacity, Reverend Moore was appointed by then National President Sam Saxton to spiritually administer to the National body. In the capacity, Reverend Moore has fined tuned the very sobering remembrance ceremony at our National Conventions by coordinating with both the ceremonial and convention directors to ensure a proper and solemn ceremony is conducted at the National Awards Banquet. Reverend Moore has since served as the National Chaplain for five National Presidents, often taking the lead at National Conventions to motivate and guide the members through difficult procedures. Reverend Moore remembers vividly when there was much turmoil within our Association and he has worked feverishly to ensure that we never return to those times. Often sought out by previous National Presidents to mediate minor disputes and misunderstandings within the Association, Reverend Moore always brings a common sense solution to any issue brought his way. It is because of his impeccable reputation that Reverend Moore easily gains the attention of all he ministers to. Fittingly, it was Reverend Moore who gave the dedication prayer at the opening ceremonies of the National Montford Point Monument in Jacksonville, North Carolina in 2016. His inspiring message resonated with all in attendance, particularly the 45 or so Original Montford Pointers who have known of his special leadership for more than two decades. Because of his commitment to service, Rev. James Moore was inducted in the NMPMA Hall of Fame. | John TateJohn Tate has managed Camp LeJeune Chapter #10’s financial affairs for over 15 years. He has been subject to audit by an independent body and has been financially sound. He spends long hours ensuring all statements are correct and accounted for. He reviews our budget, account for expenditure, and ensures all of our financially commitments are met. Mr. Tate is dedicated, loyal and driven to do the job right the first time. Mr. Tate served his county for over 30 years and was promoted to the highest rank possible in the Marines enlisted rank. During all those years he developed exceptional leadership skills which benefits this organization. He understands the importance of maintaining the Legacy of the Montford Point Marine. He himself was honored to meet some of them. When we are called on to preform Honors for our fallen, he is one of the first to say I will do it. In addition to his job as Financial Secretary he also maintains accountability for donations for the National Monument Fund. He was very instrumental in fundraisers and events designed to help build the Monument. He used his initiative to learn a new program designed to make what we do more transparent and easier to deal with the IRS at tax time. Mr. Tate worked closely with the architect, Mr. Shinal and the general contractor as they developed the drawing for what became the Bronze Statue. He traveled to the storage site of the Gun to inspect its soundness preserve status and was instrumental in the transporting of it to its final resting place. Because of his commitment to service, John Tate was inducted in the NMPMA Hall of Fame. |
