John A. Lejeune
Pictured here are images of the life size clay and the
bronze monument of Lieutenant General John A. Lejeune,
often referred to as "the greatest of all Leathernecks".
During his more than 40 years of service with the Marine
Corps, he led the famed Second Division (Army) in World
War I, and was Major General Commandant of the Marine
Corps from June 1920 to March 1929. Monuments of General
Lejeune are located at his birthplace in New Roads,
Louisiana, the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North
Carolina, Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, U.S.
Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland and the USS Kidd
Memorial, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Another is soon to
be installed at the new Marine Corps Heritage Museum,
scheduled to open in 2006.
