Greetings, I am John Archer Lejeune, the 13th Commandant of the United States Marine Corps. Born on January 10, 1867, near Lacour, Louisiana, I served nearly 40 years in the military, commanding the U.S. Army's 2nd Division during World War I. Following my retirement from the Marine Corps, I had the privilege of serving as the superintendent of the Virginia Military Institute. It is an honor to make your acquaintance.
