Reflecting on a Legacy | Gen. John F. Kelly

Gen. John F. Kelly relinquished command of U.S. Southern Command Jan. 14, 2016, and is scheduled to retire after 45 years of service.
Although he will be leaving his beloved Corps, he will continue to serve his nation and his community. “One day, you’ll get out of the Marine Corps, you’ll put your uniform up, but you’ll never not be a Marine,” said Kelly.

A true Old Breed... We need more officers like him. Rah

[@doxiechick7277]

So, so glad this man is now our nation's White House Chief of Staff. He brings a temperament and honor that we greatly need, at this time. It is a true comfort, to know that this man is on the job.

[@mpeugeot]

An amazing career from junior grunt to 4 stars.... inspiring.

[@kurtklein4299]

You call a man who doesn't stand by his present someone who has had an amazing career? You're about as worthless as the general

[@kurtklein4299]

This General is a traitor to his country. For any generals does not stand with the president of the United States should lose his title and privileges a military service. Kelly is a disgusting old man

[@bobwalsh2112]

He still has some hints of the Boston Accent after 45 years in the fleet

[@abernacle]

@Fred Garvin LOL! Trump's the sissy. This guy's a man and a half.

[@renegadejacks6133]

The few the proud. God bless the Marines.

[@ngeric7250]

GOD BLESS YOU TOO❤🎉

[@patrickconnors8403]

Incredible, 45 years, that's outstanding.

[@8digitPDX]

I am sure he will never totally go away and will remain welcome on base indefinitely, as it should be. The old guys always have some insights that the more recent generations overlook. It is always like that too.

[@AerisSkye]

This man right here is going to get stuff done for this country. General Kelly, the people have spoken. May God bless you and protect you in the trecherious swamp at the White House.

[@On-Our-Radar-24News]

They dont make them like that anymore! Talk about a quiet professional who has given so much to our country and who if asked would humbly reply, I haven't lost anymore or any less then any other fellow Marine, Soldier, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen family member.

[@rogue76251]

Just what this country needs at this time, a leader with core values, one who leads by example and believes in honor. To have risen through the ranks to become a 4 star general, you sir are definitely a Mustang.

[@melindabendle6459]

[@lornakim5706]

Semper Fi, Most Honorable General John F. Kelly and People!! Merci Beaucoup Always Always Always!!⚓

[@rodleithner7931]

Old breed new breed matters not as long as it's Marine breed. Lt Gen Puller. The only branch who does like they did 246yrs ago.

[@petehoeft6518]

You got that right Sir! "You'll never NOT be a Marine . .. " Welcome to the retired ranks! While you will have more of an ability to influence the future Corps as a retiree, know that you have legions of other retirees ready, willing, and able to help you. Semper Fi Sir.

[@geraldjohnson8871]

Being a Soldier for Almighty Creator is the same you can take off the uniform(body) But the Spirit Will be with you Eternally...

[@Nica-Ra-Wata]

Being out a while, but shit do I miss the Corps sometimes, living in places such as san freakcisco really makes you want to rejoin the Corps, civilians are some mentally fucked up folks...

[@briankeithmason5792]

Yes they are brother! In 1985 I had a very difficult time coping with civilians for my first few years out. At some point I learned to move separately from them; I see today’s version as the penultimate freak show. Semper Fi Devil Dog.

[@arieldelacruz3751]

Honor Courage and Commitment , it takes brave man and women to accomplish this.

[@Gladiator0719]

He's still a Grunt Sgt deep down inside....Semper Fi

[@KhoaNguyen.08]

Watch the video of his funeral at Arlington. Wondering if the ones they have on the joint chiefs of staff these days and the other flag officers will have the funeral and sendoff this marine had? Doubt it!

I was going to take ... not Massula ... 150 km from Massoul, then not to me ... there in Iraq with me there were 17 brigades

[@ryancallsin]

My man just called Trump “the most flawed person I’ve ever met.” He tried his best to reign in the circus but only got smeared for it. I believe Trump called him a “loser”

[@tommyvigil306]

Johnny boy is not on any picture or story book talked about in the Marines, so to be called an icon. Is like calling Amos the best commandant of the Marine Corps.
