I know Chesty Puller’s son in law.
I met Alvin York’s grandson in Korea :-)
Forgot his name, but I had as a student the B52 BombNav who fired the first cruise missile on Bagdad in 1991.
I don’t know his name, he is long since retired now, but my mother told the story of how she changed the diapers of a future Commandant of the Marine Corps back when my dad was a young lieutenant.
Like many stories from our parents, the details are gone and so are our parents. It wasn’t until my father was in ill health in his late 70s that he told me details of his time in the South Pacific (grunt), Korea (first command) and Viet Nam (adviser in the early Kennedy days, before the SHTF).
The trash ruling this country now wouldn’t be fit to lick the bottom of his shoes after he walked through manure, IMO. I’m glad he’s not here to see what is being done to the country his comrades died for.
