Latest NVF News
The NVF celebrates one of our own: Dave Culmer, a Montford Point Marine., and NVF Board of Directors member of long standing. Montford Point Camp, now called Camp Johnson, is located at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Approximately twenty thousand Marines were trained at Montford Point between 1942 – 1949. All of them were African American men.
Culmer, who enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1949, was a member of the last Platoon to attend basic training at Montford Point. Montford Point Marines served with honor in the Pacific in three of the bloodiest battles: Iwo Jima, Saipan and Okinawa. Many went on to serve in Korea and Vietnam. About “Semper Fi…” This Marine gets it! He’s made his share of Black History. Congratulations, Dave, and thanks from a grateful nation.
A Congressional Medal of Honor winner, Culmer has continued to serve as an outstanding Veteran Services Officer for many years.
