Did you serve or report to any Military Legends ?

I served under Chesty Puller when he was Lt General and Commanded the FMF Atlantic & participated in his last formal review of the troops at Camp Geiger NC in August 1955.

Had the pleasure of working for General Conway...Twice; once at 1st marine Division and again as I MEF CG. Also had the distinct honor of serving with General Mattis. All I can say is "What a Hoot!". Two great Americans! Semper Fi.

I met 'PAPPY' Boyington on an assignment, he gave me an autograph signed biography which I gave to my daughter when she graduated from U.S.A.F.A., 1999.

I guess those who were legends in their own mind wouldn't count. Sgt Tom Cunnally

Then LTC David Petraeus was my Bn Cdr, 3/187 INF 1992-1993.

Not really, but I was in West Berlin at a time when AF Col. Gail Halvorsen(of Berlin Airlift fame)was in charge of Templehof Central Airport. Just knowing what he and hundreds of other Allied Force members did for Berliners staggers the mind.

My father served with Gen. Patton until he was wounded at the Battle of the Bulge.

Not by the usual definition but most legends are never recognized as such. I guess the "legends" I served were movie stars when I was working as a nurse aide at Motion Picture Hospital back in the day. I took care of, hence got to know, a Stooge, two Tarzans, Tonto, Bud Abbott, and others. Wish I could remember the stories they'd tell. When my wife became a respiratory therapist, she did care for one of my Tarzans so I guess it runs in the family. Unfortunately on the MIL side, we can rattle off a long list of Alpha Hotels we reported to with the legend list being on a Post-It.

Sgt Tom Cunnally, I served in the 20th Special Forces Group (Airborne) when COL Ola Lee Mize was the Senior Army Advisor there in the early seventies. He received the Medal of Honor for actions in Korea and later served three tours with Special Forces in Vietnam. He was small, slender and was an ornery cuss, even in his later years. If he started walking down the hall, people would scatter. I met him once. He was a most impressive and intimidating man!

My brush with "history"...
Then Captain Richard Buchanan, (now RADM Ret) was my CO at ComSubGru 7. While he was CO of the USS Parche (SSN 683), the sub was awarded the PUC for classified operations. In the book "Blind Man's Bluff", President Reagan called him a "modern day John Wayne". He was a big intimidating guy, about 6'5-6'6.

As a contractor, I met Oliver North in Kuwait while in line at a porta john. We were waiting for our flight to Iraq. He was on assignment for Fox. Nice guy, smaller than i expected, maybe 5'8. Offered to share his beef jerky while waiting on the bus to go to the airfield. Very accommodating with the troops, shaking hands, taking photos.
