General 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.
