Valor award taking nominees

The Navy’s chief petty officer community is invited to submit
names for the inaugural Bob Feller Act ofValor award, which
honors a Navy veteran.

Outreach
Nominations are being
sought from the U.S. Navy’s
Chief Petty Officer commu
nity for the inaugural Bob
Feller Act of Valor award.
Established by the Bob
Feller Act of Valor Founda
tion, the award is named in
honor of Major League
Baseball pitcher, National
Baseball Hall of Fame in
ductee and Navy veteran
Bob Feller.
This unique award is in
tended to recognize a repre
sentative from three critical
areas of Feller’s life: his base
ball career, his service as a
Navy chief petty officer and
his enshrinement in the Hall
of Fame. As such, the award
will be presented to one
Major League Baseball
player, one Navy chief petty
officer and one member of
the Hall of Fame on Veter
ans Day, Nov. 11, at the
Navy Memorial in Washing
ton, D.C.
“It is important to recog
nize Bob Feller’s unselfish
devotion to our nation and
Navy,” said Master Chief
Petty Officer of the Navy
Mike Stevens. “He made the
personal choice to give up
money and fame for the serv
ice of others and placed him
self in harm’s way with his
shipmates during a time of
war. The chief petty officer
selected for the Bob Feller
Act of Valor Award will em
body these same traits.”
In recognition of Feller’s
significant accomplishment
in attaining the rank of chief
petty officer, nominees must
be a chief petty officer (E-7
only), active or reserve, must
be outstanding military pro
fessionals and must embody
the Navy’s core values of
honor, courage and commit
ment.
Feller enlisted in the Navy
shortly after the attack on
Pearl Harbor while he was
with the Cleveland Indians,
becoming the first American
professional athlete to enlist.
He served on the battleship
USS ALABAMA (BB-60),
and while doing so, the ship
fought in both World War II
theaters and earned eight
battle stars. Feller was re
leased from active duty,
achieving the rank of chief
petty officer, and is the only
chief petty officer in the Hall
of Fame.
Nominations must be sub
mitted to the Navy Office of
Community Outreach by
Monday, June 17. For more
information on eligibility re
quirements and the selection
process, visit NAVADMIN
