William Castle writes: “After serving as Acting General Counsel of the Department of Defense for nearly a year under then Secretary Jim Mattis, Defense Secretary Mark Esper has awarded me the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service. The Medal is the highest that the Department can confer on a non-career federal employee and has previously been awarded to three presidents. The accompanying citation reads, in part, ‘Mr. William S. Castle is recognized for distinguished public service as Principal Deputy General Counsel… [and] was critical to successful outcomes in the most sensitive classified operational and intelligence matters of the Department… .’”
