" CONFERMENT OF THE INSIGNIA OF THE GRAN-CRUZ OFTHE MILITARY ORDER OF CHRIST upon His Excellency, the Most Reverend D. Humberto de Sousa Medeiros, S.T.D. Archbishop of Boston by His Excellency, Dr. Joao Manuel Hall Themido Ambassador from Portugal to the United States of America Harvard Club of Boston I 5 April I 972 �Program The Military Order of Christ INVOCATION Rev. Father Manuel Rocha, Ph.D., Gregorian University of Rome, Italy; Ph.D., University of Louvain, Belgium The practice of rewarding civil and military achievements grew out of the medieval custom of conferring knighthood. The incessant private warfare that characterized early medieval times brought about a permanent military class, and by the I 0th century, the institution of knighthood was well established. At the time of the Crusades, the great military orders of knighthood were formed throughout Europe. From their earliest periods, these military orders had their counterparts in Portugal. Important among these were the Knights Templars, who received gifts of estates and money, and soon became one of the most beneficent orders in Europe. In 1319, King Dinis of Portugal was able, through his diplomatic efforts, to obtain permission from Pope John XXII to transfer the properties of the Portuguese Templars to a completely new order. This new order would be specifically designed to protect the Christians from Moslem raids and would be given the name: The Military Order of Christ. Thus was this new order endowed with ample property, including the stronghold Castro Marim near the mouth of the Guadiana River on the Spanish border. By the time Prince Henry the Navigator became Grand Master a century later, the Military Order of Christ had achieved its position as Portugal's prime offensive weapon against the Moslems. Prince Henry the Navigator was able to use the order's vast resources in the wider field of overseas discoveries to which his greater imagination carried him and his country. For this reason, one finds the emblem of the Order of Christ on the banners and sails of the ships of Portugal's Golden Age of Discovery. The decoration of the Gran-Cruz of the Military Order of Christ has been conferred upon Archbishop Medeiros by the President of Portugal, America Tomas, in recognition of the Archbishop's singular rise in the Catholic world. Archbishop Medeiros has attained unique distinction as a humanitarian, scholar, theologian and as a Christian soldier working in behalf of the faith of the land of his birth. Archbishop Medeiros was born on the Portuguese island of St. Michael in the Azores. It is interesting to note that this archipelago was discovered under the auspices of that order whose highest insignia has been conferred upon Archbishop Medeiros: the Military Order of Christ. * NATIONAL ANTHEMS * INTRODUCTION Master of Ceremonies, Manuel J.

Edits and additional information have been added by the archivist.</em><br /><br />The Portuguese American War Veterans Post 1 organization was founded on December 13th, 1945 in Peabody, MA. In an effort led by the organization’s first Commander, Mr. Henry Leal, in his home on 4 1/2 Sprague Street, a group of World War I and World War II veterans decided to charter a veterans' support group in an old elementary school building on Tremont Street. Founded as a social club to support the large number of Portuguese veterans returning to Peabody after the war, the PAWV Post 1 evolved to become one of the primary centers and homes for veterans and community service organizations on the North Shore as well as other community endeavors. <br /><br />The original members of the PAWV Post 1 included: Commander Henry Leal, Edward M. Madruga, Joseph P. Sousa, Charles J. Silvaria, John F. Luz, Francis E. Paul, Anthony Silva, Albert J. Silva, Joseph M. Ortins and early members Americo Martins and Tony Pimenta. The group had agreed to organize under the mission to "uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, to encourage a spirit of comradeship among the members, to preserve the memory of our associations in the Great Wars, to promote good will and peace on earth and to devote our comradeship to mutual helpfulness to Veterans and their families." <br /><br />Eligible members of the Portuguese American War Veterans Post 1 include: Veterans who hold a DD-214 or NGB 22 discharge document under "Honorable" conditions from the United States Armed Forces, or any Member still serving on Active or Inactive Duty. Any other person who, regardless of veteran status, upon reaching the age of 21 can submit an application to become an Associate Member of PAWV Post 1. Other tenant organizations represented by the PAWV Post 1 include the Yankee Division Veterans Association (YDVA), the Second Corps of Cadets (2CCVA), the Polish League of American Veterans (PLAV) and the Banda Recreativa Portuguesa. <br /><br />Over the past eighty years, the PAWV has contributed to the City of Peabody's Memorial Day remembrances and parades, Dia de Portugal celebrations, and assisted with the Portuguese community’s contributions to the City of Peabody’s Centennial celebration and parade. As a result of its work and contributions to the Portuguese community, the Portuguese American War Veterans Post 1, was nominated by the Portuguese American Leadership Council of the United States (PALCUS) for a National Community Award, which was presented to Commander John Silva on October 11, 2014 in Washington DC. <br /><br />Today, the members of the PAWV Post—which include the post-WWII veterans of Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Kosovo, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq—continue to celebrate and honor their military service by striving to be a cornerstone for veteran support and community service in the North Shore area.

Any other person who, regardless of veteran status, upon reaching the age of 21 can submit an application to become an Associate Member of PAWV Post 1. Other tenant organizations represented by the PAWV Post 1 include the Yankee Division Veterans Association (YDVA), the Second Corps of Cadets (2CCVA), the Polish League of American Veterans (PLAV) and the Banda Recreativa Portuguesa. <br /><br />Over the past eighty years, the PAWV has contributed to the City of Peabody's Memorial Day remembrances and parades, Dia de Portugal celebrations, and assisted with the Portuguese community’s contributions to the City of Peabody’s Centennial celebration and parade. As a result of its work and contributions to the Portuguese community, the Portuguese American War Veterans Post 1, was nominated by the Portuguese American Leadership Council of the United States (PALCUS) for a National Community Award, which was presented to Commander John Silva on October 11, 2014 in Washington DC. <br /><br />Today, the members of the PAWV Post—which include the post-WWII veterans of Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Kosovo, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq—continue to celebrate and honor their military service by striving to be a cornerstone for veteran support and community service in the North Shore area.
