    Had the pleasure of listening to this man speak at our Marine Corps ball in 2013. One of my friends went up to him and asked him for a selfie, and he obliged. A great man with a big character.

    I attended The basic School and IOC with 2ndLT Nicholson back in 1980. He was liked and respected by everyone. Always solid. I also had the pleasure of meeting his then USMC captain son at TBS while i visited there two years ago. Larry should take great pride in his career, but even greater pride in his progeny. Well done, sir. SF

    With my whole heart, I can honestly say that I look forward to videos like this SO much more than I do with any of the other channels I subscribe to. This means so much more than some “challenge” video or any of that other crap. I look forward to the day when I will be serving alongside these incredible men and women in just a few short years. Semper Fidelis. 👊

    I met this man on the battlefield in Marjah in 2010. He was a 1 star at the time. He was very humble and would talk to you respect regardless of your rank. He was a great man to be around even though it was brief. Good luck to you, sir!

    Lt. Col Nicholson was my battalion commander from 1999ish to 2001 at 2/2 at Camp Lejeune. I've spoken briefly with him face to face on several occasions. He's a good man and a good leader. Semper Fi, sir
