Other Comments:

Gen. Greene was the Commandant when I enlisted in the USMC in 1965.  Upon my return from Vietnam in 1967 I was assigned to HqBn, HQMC (Henderson Hall & Naval Security Station, WashDC).  In 1967 I saw Gen. Greene a number of times in the Naval Annex area in Arlington.  What first "jumped out at you" was how short Gen. Greene was.  BUT, his ribbons spoke loud for his dedication, professionalism and experience as a true Marine Corps Officer.
