McWilliams (right), the Deputy Commander of Marine Forces Reserve and Marine Forces South, awards Morris Warner, a National Montford Point Marine Association representative, an AARP award during the Algiers Festival at Federal City, Feb. 12, 2022. Montford Point Marines are the first African-American Marines to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps after President Franklin Roosevelt issued an Executive Order establishing the Fair Employment Practices Commission in June 1941. The recruits trained at Camp Montford Point in Jacksonville, North Carolina, from Aug. 26, 1942 until the camp was decommissioned Sep. 9, 1949. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. David Intriago)
