General James Livingston USMC
 

I met a true hero this Veteran's Day. I was assigned to assist with the parade route on St. Simons Island and while watching the various veterans, vehicles, and bands line up, I saw a convertible Cadillac with a banner that read "General James Livingston (USMC) Medal Of Honor".

I approached and met General Livingston who took the time to speak with me for a few minutes. In what seemed like seconds, I noticed a large gathering of people lining up to shake his hand behind me, so I thanked him for his service and faded into the background so others could have the pleasure of meeting him. Truly an incredible day!

Geesh, He was my Bn. Commander in boot camp.....

I remember meeting him a few years ago. A true American hero!

Very cool. God Bless him, and the rest of our vets.

I had the Honor of being his driver for the Marine Corps Ball in 1994.
