his name is walter cornell. we will call him cornell, in fact. he was a member of the 6th regiment and he was killed during the battle of belleau wood, but that is not, for me, the interesting part of the story. what was interesting was that cornell, all of the young marines in his company looked to him for leadership. the u.s. marines was an all volunteer force and most had never seen combat before. not this guy. this guy had been around the world, literally, fighting. he had been in china, all over the place on these little islands. walter cornell story to me, gunnar cornell, as he was known to the marines, his story to me is that he showed leadership in those first days of combat when the young marines were looking to somebody for direction. looking for leadership. when it comes down to it, he was a marine sniper. long-range fire, very effective. he would come in every night and put more notches on the stock of his rifle. he was injured, relatively severely on 6 june. he had part of his ear shot off and he refused more than basic medical atten

walter cornell's story to me, or gunnar cornell, as he was known to the young marines, his story is thate showed leadership in the first few days of combat when the young marines were looking to somebody for direction. looking for leadership. when it comes down to it, he was a marine sniper. long-range rifle fire, very effective. he would come in every night. with more notches on the stock of his rifle. he actually was injured relatively severely on the sixth of june. he was shot in the side of his ear, but he refused more than just the basic medical attention and went out on the morning of the seventh of june and a leader -- and they bombarded his position. they never funds -- never found out exactly how they died. he would look to leadership. many young leaders said they -- young marines said if they can't get cornell they can't get us. he was awarded the distinguished service cross. here inhe more awarded the cemetery. i talk a lot about new englanders because of the 26th division, the new england national guard. also to let people -- to remind people it was not just the u.s. marine c
