The Outstanding Civilian Service Medal is one of the highest awards that the Department of the Army can bestow upon a civilian.  The Army is recognizing Morgan for his significant dedication to supporting not just Soldiers but to all military serving their country – often in harm’s way.

Morgan just returned to the U.S. after completing his 10th USO Tour to entertain U.S. military members stationed overseas. The eight-day tour, his third with the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, visited seven countries and included stops in western Tokyo, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq and Spain as well as the Korean Peninsula where the U.S. Army veteran was once stationed. Morgan served in the Army for nearly two decades.
