Col. David Cahn, USMC (Ret.)

Colonel David Cahn wanted to be a Marine, just like his father, a WWII and Korean War veteran who instilled in his son the Corps' values of hard work, integrity, loyalty, and to never give up. During his career, Dave served with several commands, including the Marine Barracks at 8th & I, 3rd RECON BN and CENTCOM Fwd. He says, "The Corps became my family -- people I could trust."

Dave believes it's important to protect the Corps' history and ensure it lives on. "My legacy gift to the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation is a way to help accomplish this. The National Museum of the Marine Corps not only inspires me to give back for what the Corps gave me, but it also shows visitors that the Marines are the finest fighting force the world has ever seen. I'm honored to help pass on this legacy to future generations."
