Member Oorahs!
Ms. Pappas,
Congratulations. You are more responsive and informative than any other website contact I can recall. I appreciate that very much. It’s really nice to have someone like you at the MCA “front door.”
Sincerely, Alfred
You have been the easiest person I have ever dealt with since I have started MWR out here. You were very quick to respond to my every question and very knowledgeable about your work for an order over a phone that was my greatest experience. If you were in the Marine Corps Skylar I would write you up for a meritorious promotion. I will surely write it in my books to pass the word to the next MWR rep to continue the membership with you guys.
Sgt Richard Colmenarez
I'm so pleased to see all the great merchandise you are stocking and the awesome promotions. Your store was dissappointing a few years ago and I shopped only at Sgt Grit.
Now, I can find what I am looking for with you guys.
Great job!
I received them this morning. Thank you so much for your help! you guys are awesome and you will have my business for any uniform or military need in the future as well as a hearty recommendation via word of mouth to anyone who wonders where they should purchase uniforms from!
Christina,
Thank you for all your help over the phone today. Planning a Marine Corps Ball is a lot of time, energy and work.

Ma’am,
Just wanted to let you know that I got the sword yesterday with time to spare. It showed up unscathed due to the excellent packing job despite the rough postal process. And most importantly it looks great and the Bahraini’s couldn’t be happier! Thanks again for all of your assistance.

It is ALWAYS a pleasure to work with a consummate professional such as SgtMaj (Ret.) Frank Pulley. As the company 1stSgt for Hotel Company, MCT, SOI (West), I’ve attended a number of his briefs and one can visually see a positive change in the student’s attention levels as the SgtMaj delivers his presentation. The SgtMaj truly cares about the Marines and the Marine Corps and represents the MCA in an extremely admirable manner. It has been my experience that all Marines (including myself) benefit from the experience of attending a MCA presentation. And regardless of rank or years of experience, Marines should always seek to increase their level of proficiency and knowledge and MCA briefs provide us with that opportunity.
I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone at the association for sponsoring the Ground Awards Dinner on 3 June at the Crystal City Marriott. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were tremendously pleased with the hospitality shown to us and the great accommodations. As well, I wanted to thank the association for the DVD of the event that was mailed to me. It is something that I will keep and treasure for the rest of my days. Again, thanks for everything.
Semper Fidelis!
Thanks for the email; I purchased the two Marine Corps. Cups for my brother who served with the First Marine Div. in Vietnam . He was very pleased with the cups and I was very impressed with the purchase. The online catalog did not do the product the justice it deserved. Thanks again and I am sure you will hear from me in the future.
Louise,
I just wanted to say thanks so much for making sure the uniform got back
to me in time for my commissioning class's photo. It fits me well and I am so excited for commissioning which takes
place in 17 hours! Thank you again!
Very Respectfully,

What about Joe Foss???
MOH in WWII (joined the Air Force later - go figure) and then became the FIRST commissioner of the NFL!!!
Joe Foss
He should have been added as well as Daniel Daly two time MOH winner and the one who uttered the immortal words," Come on for Christ's sake, you want to live forever!"
Spoken during the Battle for Belleau Wood, June 1918.
Dan Daly
He was a great Marine, no doubt about it. However, I don't think he'd make this particular list, as they were going after Marines who also had a colorful CIVILIAN (after the Corps) career. I voted for R. Lee Ermey, just cuz he made so many movies and tv appearances and repped the EGA pretty hard. He was so gung-ho that he actually got an 'promotion' to actual Gunnery Sergeant, even though he retired a Staff Sergeant. Gotta love the Gunny... unless you're in trouble, then you AVOID the Gunny.
Just my 2 cents, which doesn't amount to much, these days...
Great example. There is also
Great example. There is also a display of his heroism at the Museum of Flight in Seatle, WA. He is the most famous "Green Knight" to ever fly.
Dan Daly
Dan Daly should have been listed on this survey along with Chesty Puller.
Who wrote the list?
How in the heck is Smedley Butler or Dan Daly on the list?
Typo
Meant "not" on the list.
FYI - Presley O'Bannon's resting place
Check this out! I moved to Kentucky several years ago from New York and guess who I stumbled upon?
Presley O'Bannon is buried at the Franfort, Ky Cemetary. It sit's up on a ridge overlooking the Kentucky River and the state's capital building. As a matter of fact, the local MCA put up a marker with a huge gold EGA on it.
His gravesite is only about 50 yards from where Daniel Boones remains are buried.
Lot's of Marine Corps Vets here in Kentucky for some reason? Makes you wonder what made him venture out into the wilderness way back then?
Just a little bit of history trivia...

O'Bannon
Yeah...someone stole the original and the MCL had to replace it about 1995 or '96. I did a story for Leatherneck when they dedicated it. Very impressive.

While maybe not as well known as the others on the list I would defy anyone who read of his exploits to vote against him. The Tribal Elder
Peter Ortiz
I agree. I always considered his story one of the most fascinating in Marine Corps History. I can't tell you how many times I shared it with other Marines.
In agreement
I think the problem is: Most people (Marines) are unaware of his life and exploits. '
Maybe a little more in-depth study of Marine Corps History could be initiated by the Marine Corps Institute (MCI). This would broaden our collective knowledge and inspire more (if that is possible) pride in our Corps.

Sir:
While we are remembering those who were lost and those who returned to us from Iwo Jima let us not forget CWO4 Hershel "Woody" Williams who is the last living Medal of Honor Recipient from the battle for Iwo Jima.

As a Viet Nam Era vet, I only wish I would have been at Phx Sky Harbor the day he was stopped by TSA for wearing his MOA...I would have made a scene and called for the local cops at the top of my lungs!
He was shamed by the USA that day and I would not have put up for it, neither would have any other Marine present.
Shameful day in history.
