As a young Lance Corporal (L/Cpl) I met this giant of a man (he was very tall) when he was a- BGen Peterson and right in front of MCX (Marine Corps Exchange) on Camp LeJeune, NC and he asked me and several others our names-short conversational stuff but it made our day! I damn near Shyt in my pants considering up out of the blue that a one-Star General would speak 2Us just in general convo! Oorah!!!
Would love hear more stories from when you served, loved this one you just told even if it was short. I have so much respect for men like you. Thank you for serving our country.
I followed you while I was enlisted... including beyond your retirement. (1986-1992) You set the tone for our current Marines...BGen. Anderson and Gen. Langley. (Hope I got the names right.) Rest Easy, sir...and Semper Fi! You are probably playing spades with Chesty right now.
I met this man he can’t fly in a CH 46 he was humble and down-to-earth Marine. I’ll never forget what he said look how big I am and they put me in a F-4 he enjoyed his flight in the CH-46 Helicopter. I respect this man it goes to show you any and everything is possible. Semper Fidelis Marine DevilDog Leatherneck.
Thank you for services, not only for you and the others that made it back, but those who never made it back, and those never were found, and that is still missing and that were prisoners we never know what hell you went through/endured and made it back and those who past there not only in the wars past, and those who are suffering from the PTSD just a bit of this there is some relief just a reach away seek help I love you all take care to take help to protect this country even though they didn't return the favor. I cared I hope this wasn't too bad run on I have Grammarly installed

Very good story but there is no diversity in there whatsoever as the description says. It pure unity working as a group helped him become the general he became because of unity.
Definitely understand but we made historical history so please forgive our soldiers MEN'S and women's made history and broke barrels who come from military family all branches of service and law enforcement just saded me the wish is not told in schools well not enough we definitely heading to a socialist socialism agenda not only African Americans but Philippines who also fought bye our side semper fidelis
“Breaking barriers”, that’s funny. When I was enlisted a black marine falsely accused me of being racist and making “racist remarks”. He couldn’t prove anything and I had only said very few things to him and we were always in the presence of others so you figure it wouldn’t be that hard to prove. With no evidence the chain of command took his side because they didn’t want to have to deal with an E.O. Complaint. “Breaking barriers” why don’t you start with actually enforcing equality instead of virtue signaling.
@@somerandommen it’s getting worse and worse too. Look at the Eddie Ghalliger case. I appreciate your support, but we need to stand on the true side of equality.
Virtue signaling only weakens the corps. If everyone really is equal then why would one need to virtue signal at all? This is exactly the type of thing that is starting to make ppl laugh at you. This is not the corps I served in.

Wow! I bet he’s a helluva guy.
Thanks for serving and sharing General!
He did the best he could what he had and became a unintentional pioneer. God wants this from everyone regardless of race or class 🙏.

How long ago my dude?
@@somerandommen about 4 years now.
@@cassidybronson6891 Damn more recent than I thought, sorry this happened to you.
@@somerandommen it’s getting worse and worse too. Look at the Eddie Ghalliger case. I appreciate your support, but we need to stand on the true side of equality.

Thank you, that’s what I was saying.
What was the corps like when you served?
@@fkdonaldtrump7194 over politicized and undertrained.
@@cassidybronson6891 damn bro sorry to hear that, I was planning on joining myself.
@@fkdonaldtrump7194 your efforts are more than appreciated, but I think that society needs you more than the corps does.
