This episode explores one of the most respected Marines in Marine Corps history – Archibald Henderson. Henderson served as the commandant for 38 years; the longest anyone held that position. This length of service earned him the nickname, “Grand Old Man of the Marine Corps.” This motivator will be in charge for the next few decades, and this episode will set the stage by introducing the fifth commandant of the Marine Corps (or 4th, if you’re counting acting commandants), who will further define the reputation of the United States Marine Corps.
