We thank Mr. and Mrs. Anthony F. Serra of Birmingham, Alabama, for their generous underwriting of the Foundation News for one year. They are Semper Fidelis!

Winter2009 DearFriendsoftheFoundation,

I just returned from the funeral of General “Brute” Krulak, in San Diego. It was a simple but movingtribute to one of our Corps’ legends. The homily at his funeral was delivered by his son, ChaplainVictorKrulak,USN,Retired,andcanbefoundonourwebsite,alongwithaeulogypreparedanddeliveredbyGeneralKrulak’sbiographer,Mr.RobertCoram.Restinpeace,General.“HomeistheSailor,homefromthesea,andthehunter,homefromthehill.”

Following is a copy of my 31 December 2008 report to the Foundation’s Trustees. It contains itemsofinteresttoyoualongwithfurtherinformationregardingGeneralKrulak.

Dear Trustees,

On this the last day of 2008 I wanted to share a few thoughts with you.

Despite the challenges in our economy, we have had a relatively good year. It appears that we have raised approximately $1.8 million, which is great news for those we support. Details will be provided at our March Board of Trustees Meeting and I look forward to providing a full report to you. My thanks to all of you for your role in our successful year!

The 2009 Budget was approved by our Executive Committee. As you’ll recall from the discussion at our October Board Meeting, the financial data was not timely enough to permit an approval then. The decision was to acquire more current information, submit it to the Financial Committee for approval, then to the Executive Committee for Board decision. (I delivered the funding letters to General Gardner 30 December for his implementation.)

I’ve had email conversations with Mike Zak. As you recall, he funded the trial endeavor of instituting the Harvard Business School Case Study method at the Marine Corps University. The effort is a year old and it appears we are ready to discuss the next step leading to full implementation. I will keep you informed of this significant endeavor.

My Command and Staff College elective on Information Operations (IO) will result in the awarding of an additional MOS, “Information Operations Staff Officer,” to the Marine students. The course has received positive evaluations from IO experts within DoD (“eye watering – especially the speakers and topics”) and is highlighted by the final remarks of Mr. Steve Kappes, Deputy Director of the CIA.

As I informed you yesterday [30 December], General “Brute” Krulak died on 29 December. In addition to his countless contributions to Corps and Country, he also directed that all royalties from his classic book,FirsttoFight, be directed to our Foundation. (Last January, our Foundation honored and thanked him at an event at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego just before his health began to fail. Marine Corps University President, Major General Donald Gardner, observed it was the last time he was officially honored before he died.) General Krulak’s son, Chuck, (General Charles C. Krulak, 31st Commandant of the Marine Corps) called me to thank those of you who have sent your condolences to him and the Krulak family. He also said that the official announcement of his father’s death will contain the request that in lieu of flowers, contributions should be made to our Foundation. I will attend the service and interment of this great Marine on 8 and 9 January. He was truly “Semper Fidelis!”

I can’t let the year go by without thanking each of you for your support of our noble efforts. I am blessed by you and by a Staff that does so much with so little. 2008 was a year of challenge, but we were successful. Thank you, and Semper Fidelis.

I’llclosewithmythankstoyouaswell.2009willhaveitsshareofchallenges,butwithyoursupportwewillsucceedagain.

SemperFidelis,

General Robert H. Barrow, who passed away, October 30,

2008, in St. Francisville, Louisiana. We send our deepest

sympathy to his sons Charles C. Pulliam and Lieutenant

ColonelRobertH.Barrow,USMC(Ret),hisdaughtersCathleen

P.Harmon,BarbaraB.KanegayeandMaryB.Hannigan,and

hisgrandchildrenandgreatgrandchildren.GeneralBarrow’s

wifeof53years,Patty,passedawayin2005.

Robert Hilliard Barrow was born on February 5, 1922,

in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and grew up on his family’s

Rosale Plantation in West Feliciana Parish. The family’s

“themostoutstandingCompanyCommanderofthewar.”

DuringVietnam,GeneralBarrowcommandedthe9thMarine

his troops killed 1,617 enemy soldiers and captured 1,461

weapons and hundreds of tons of ammunition. General

Richard G. Stillwell, Chief of Staff to General William C.

Westmoreland, called General Barrow the War’s “finest

RegimentalCommander.”

As the Marine Manpower Chief in 1976, General Barrow

was instrumental in drafting reforms designed to end Drill

Instructors’physicalabuseandharassmentofrecruittrainees

without easing the tough physical conditioning that was a

hallmarkofMarineBootCamp.Healsosucceededinraising

Remembering Lieutenant General Victor H. Krulak, UsMC (Ret) With excerpts from an article in the Los Angeles times by Tony Perry

Lieutenant General Victor H. “Brute” Krulak,USMC(Ret),

celebrated for his leadership in World War II, Korea, and

Vietnam, passed away December 29, 2008, in La Jolla,

California.Hewas95yearsold.

who preferred careerism and bureaucracy over decisive

action.Hedetestedthosewholostsightoflookingaftertheir

enlistedMarinesandyoungofficers.

GeneralKrulakwasa1934graduateoftheNavalAcademy

where he picked up his nickname “Brute,” a jest on the

fact he was 5 foot 4. He was said to be the shortest

man in the history of the Marines, and needed a special

dispensation to join. As the story goes, he had a friend

clobber him over the head to raise a welt high enough to

satisfy the5 foot6minimum–amythaccording tohisson,

GeneralCharlesKrulak.

As a junior officer he served in Marine actions in Central

America.InWorldWarIIheledabattalioninaweeklongbattle
