Not sure what to say?

Marc was always a very special person to work with and all that he gave his government should be part of our memory of this dedicated warrior.

I worked with Marc in the Penatagon on a DoD HUMINT project. He was a great officer and colleague respected by all who had the honor of knowing him. He rests in peace knowing he made a difference for this country! Thank you Marc!

Worked with Marc in the Pentagon. A great Army officer, patriot and a good man! He served his country well and made a real difference. RIP my friend.

A true hero to his UNICEF friends. Could always be relied on for advice as well as during very tense circumstances. His willingness to help others seemed limitless. Rest well big man.. we all will miss you.

May the love of God, friends and family carry you through your grief. I am sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept my condolences. 2nd Thessalonians 2:15, 16.

My wife and I were friends with Marc and his wife in the 1960s when both of us were young Army intelligence officers. We observed then that the Powes were special people destined to do great things for their nation. My thoughts a with their two daughters who stood by and cared for their parents during their extended illnesses. Their daughters were hero’s in my view caring for their parents who contributed so much to our country. Please accept my condolence for the family who gave so much!...

Marc was an officer and gentleman of the old school. I worked with him on a number of activities at the Defense Intelligence Agency and was always impressed by his depth of knowledge. Beyond his professional experience he always exhibited kindness and gentleness to all with whom he came in contact. God rest Marc and may your family take comfort in all you have done for your country.

Powe at the U.S. embassy in Tunis, Tunisia '89-'91. That period included the first Gulf War and other challenges. Marc Pro was an incredible Defense Attaché and a better man. Marc was a stalwart on our Embassy team and the best military Attaché I ever had the privilege to work with.

A friend for 40 years who served quietly as the exemplar model “Shadow Warrior” accomplishing major intelligence feats as a tactical and strategic intelligence officer and l as a military attaché in a myriad of assignments , schooled and motivated a generation of young intelligence officers as an instructor at the Army Intelligence School, co- authored the chronological history of Military Intelligence and helped accelerate officer careers during two tours with Army Personnel.
