Don and I spoke at the Reagan Library in Simi, CA on August 17, 2022 as part of the museum’s Secrets of WWII exhibit.
The secret? A story that has never been told until now, about General Rupertus, and his experience in Shanghai China as a CO of the 4th Marines, and with the 1st Marine Division in the Pacific. And, the history of My Rifle the Creed of a US Marine.
I have it memorized, but alas, when asked, bombed the opening. Oh my.
Onward!
This is my rifle, there are many like it, but this one is mine.
Here is the recording of the live presentation.
