Honoring a true "Marine's Marine" today ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sergeant Major John M. Malnar (1926-1968) was a legendary "Mustang" who rose through the ranks to become one of the most respected senior enlisted leaders in the history of the 4th Marine Regiment. A veteran of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, his 25-year career was defined by extraordinary bravery: In Korea: He famously climbed onto the exterior of a tank under heavy fire to manually fire its machine gun, destroying an enemy position that had pinned down his squad. In Vietnam: Serving as the Sergeant Major for the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines (the "Magnificent Bastards"), he was a pillar of strength during the brutal Battle of Dai Do. The Ultimate Sacrifice: On May 2, 1968, while braving a hail of fire to rescue his wounded Battalion Commander and fellow Marines, SgtMaj Malnar was mortally wounded. For his gallantry, he was awarded two Silver Stars and two Bronze Stars with Combat "V" His legacy lives on at Camp Lejeune, where "Malnar Hall" stands in his honor, and on Panel 54E of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. sacrifice.
