Maj. James Smiley with 2nd Maintenance Battalion presents Montford Point Marine, Pfc. (Ret.) Theodore Roosevelt Watson with the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian award, at his home in Durham, N.C., Aug. 19, 2012. By breaking the color-barrier in 1942, the Montford Marines became part of the rich legacy of the Corps by both fighting the enemy during World War II, while also fighting for their civil rights and respect of their fellow Americans.
