Gunnery Sergeant Michael J. Rock
“Marines are a brotherhood.” This simple sentiment has deeply impacted the life of Gunnery Sergeant Michael J. Rock. When he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at age 19, Rock had no idea that he would go on to work, live, and fight alongside his Marine brothers for the next 21 years. But that he did. From Japan to Haiti to the Philippines to Afghanistan, Rock faithfully served his country all around the world.
