Brod rick, USN, a navy flight surgeon with a background of 21 months in the South Pacific, was decor ated with the presidential unit citation ribbon in recognition of his outstanding services. Like wise. Albert Patrick, the first civilian employee at the air sta tion, was decorated with a merit orious civilian service emblem. Lt. Commander Brodrick in September of 1942, was one of the first physicians to arrive at Guadalcanal, and was instru mental in' providing medical care and improving hospital facilities on that battle-scarred island. ' Dr. Brodrick stated that upon first arriving at Guadalcanal he found that facilities were very primitive and food supplies in adequate. He-was one of four doctors who volunteered for duty at Guadalcanal, one of whom was lost before their arrival. He spent ' considerable- time flying battered human cargo be tween Guadalcanal and a base hospital. -The return flight was usually made with bombs, gasoline- and -oxygen in place of patients. A native Californian, Lt. Com mander Brodrick completed his under-graduate work at Leland Stanford university and later served his internship at San Francisco. - He joined the navy in July, 1940, and served at naval hos pitals at Philadelphia, San Diego, Iceland, and Samoa, and received flight - training at Pensacola, Florida. ' The meritorious civilian serv ice emblem was awarded to Pat rick in recognition of his out standing services in connection with the construction program of the navy. ' His , citation -was awarded by Vice Admiral B. Moreell, chief of the bureau of yards and docks, U. S.jiayy, and reads as" follows:" "Upon recommendation of the board of the bureau of yards and docks, the chief of the bureau has this date awarded you the meritorious civilian service em blem as recognition of the ex cellent services rendered over and beyond those normally re quired in connection with your duties in the construction pro gram of this bureau. "The chief of bureau congratu lates you upon your outstanding performance and loyalty, and ex-. Dresses his appreciation of the example you have set for your fellow workers in furthering the. prosecution of the war on tne vital construction front." The awarding of this emblem to Patrick is significant in that it represents the first such award to be made in this area. Patrick has been associated with the navy department for several years, and served in an administrative capacity, aiding in transferring the materials and equipment for founding naval bases at Newfoundland, Iceland, and other foreign ports. Patrick, previous to his work at 'Klamath Falls, was engaged in an administrative capacity at the naval supply depot, Clear field, Utah, and at the present is an administrative assistant in the public works department at the air station.
