Navy Capt. William A. Wildhack III, chaplain for the 4th Marine Division, receives the Legion of Merit at the Marine Corps Support Facility New Orleans, March 17, 2014. According to the citation, Wildhack exhibited exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding service as force chaplain and deputy force chaplain from August 2011 to September 2013. As the first Reserve-component chaplain to serve as both deputy and force chaplain, Wildhack’s leadership, unequaled vision and superior managerial increased awareness of Reserve-component issues among active-component counterparts and the chaplain leadership.
