Meet Our Donors

Steve Shaw

Steve Shaw Enlisting in the Corps was the best decision I could have made in 1956. I was accepted into the band and enjoyed it more than I could have known. My drum major was the ideal role model. What I learned from this Gunnery Sergeant and other Marines guided me professionally and personally my entire life.

In my two years in the Corps, I learned more about life and how to live it than ever before. It was knowledge that I used throughout my career at GM. I also found out that people treat you with respect if they know you've been in the Marine Corps. And, I gained three lifelong friends — fellow Marines with whom I've been close for over 50 years.

Preserving our history is important to me and to Marines everywhere. When I finally got to see the Museum I was blown away by it — it is truly awesome and does justice to the Corps. I couldn't be more satisfied — my legacy gift is an ideal way to support the mission of the MCHF.
