I am a Marine Corps veteran and history has always been my favorite subject in school. I think it is important to remember history and the people who played a role. Because of my background, I mostly focus on creating pages for notable Marines and other servicemen who have not yet had pages created. I do my best to make new articles with a decent amount of information.

I have created the following pages:

  • John W. Antonelli (1917–1999), USMC Brigadier General, recipient of the Navy Cross
