Lt. General Timothy J. Maude
Timothy Joseph "Tim" Maude (November 18, 1947 – September 11, 2001) was a United States Army officer who was killed in the September 11 attacks of 2001.
Maude, a lieutenant general, was the highest ranking U.S. military officer killed in the September 11 attacks and the most senior U.S. Army officer killed by foreign action since the death of Lieutenant General Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr. on June 18, 1945, in the Battle of Okinawa during World War II. Maude had been serving as the U.S. Army's Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel and was at a meeting when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the west side of the Pentagon. His offices had just days before been moved to the most recently renovated section of the Pentagon.
Maude was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. He joined the U.S. Army as an enlisted soldier on March 21, 1966 when he was eighteen years old. He had initially intended to become a priest and graduated from the Latin School of Indianapolis, a Roman Catholic seminary high school, but received his commission as a Second Lieutenant upon completing Officer Candidate School in February 1967. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in management from Golden Gate University and a Master of Arts Degree in Public Administration from Ball State University.
Upon being commissioned he served one year in South Vietnam and the rest of his career in the United States, West Germany and South Korea.[1] His assignments included:
Maude was stationed in Washington, D.C. in August 1998 and was nominated as Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel by President Clinton's Secretary of Defense, William S. Cohen, in May 2000.
Maude began the "Army of One" recruiting campaign using television and internet advertising. He had testified before the U.S. Congress concerning the necessity of meeting recruiting goals to fulfill the United States Army's missions. In September 2001 he announced that the Army of One campaign was drawing more recruits and on September 4, 2001 it was reported that the U.S. Army had met its goals early for active duty soldiers and that the U.S. Army Reserve and U.S. Army National Guard would meet theirs by the end of the month.
Memorial Chalice Program
This Program memorializes deceased 4th Degree Sir Knights of Assembly 2740 by presenting a chalice, with his name engraved on the Chalice base, to a bishop, priest, parish or mission. The Chalice is presented to the family at the Annual Memorial Mass.
Following the family's recommendations, the Chalice is then presented to the chosen recipient after the Mass Memorial. The deceased Knight is remembered by the Celebrant in every Mass in which the chalice is used.
The Program is funded with contributions from Knights and other sources. An annual assessment of Assembly members is made if needed.
The deceased Sir Knight must have been a practicing Catholic and in good standing as a 4th Degree Knight.
After the memorial service, the departed Sir Knight's name and appropriate dates will be engraved on the chalice base as in the following example: In Memory of SK John P. Sample 1939-2007.
The chalice may not be replaced with any other memorial; however other memorials may accompany it if desired.
The donated chalice is set on display near the head of the casket during the wake service.
Family members of the deceased Sir Knight may recommend the chalice placement to a bishop, priest, parish or mission of their choice. If the family needs assistance with the placement of the chalice, the Assembly may assist.
The placement of the chalice must be deemed appropriate by the Lt. General Timothy J. Maude Assembly #2740.
Flag History Education Program
The Flag Program is an educational program geared for schools and civic groups about the history of the United States flag. The program includes the history of the flag beginning with the American Revolution and concluding with our current 50 Star Flag.
The program was formed after members of our Color Guard observed when marching in local parades, younger men and children did not show proper respect for the flag. We soon learned that this inattention isn't a deliberate act of disrespect; it's more a case of not having been taught the same flag etiquette as previous generations. Through casual conversations with elementary teachers, we discovered the history of the U.S. flag and flag etiquette are not routinely taught in classrooms today.
Our Assembly is happy to present the flag program to school groups or civic organizations in Hamilton County or surrounding communities. Please contact our Flag Program coordinator
SK Richard Kolic for more information.
If your assembly would like to adopt your own flag program, we'd be happy to help provide our curriculum to get your group started.
