Colonel Joseph Perry Goodson USMC (Ret.)

Many fond memories of Colonel Goodson on campus at The Citadel. Especially for our Class attending its first Marine Corps Birthday Ceremony in the Cadet Lounge of Mark Clark Hall. His article in Marine Corps Gazette on Moral Courage in Leadership of Marines is still the Standard for following generations. Very Respectfully Preston McLaughlin Colonel USMC Retired Citadel Class of 1983
