Letters from Marshall's Army Commanders

A Captain and a Lieutenant Colonel from the Army both wrote letters to us about Marshall. They both knew him personally and their words were so uplifting. Here are a few excerpts.

"Marshall was a true hero who loved being in a Cavalry Squadron and it showed in everything he did. Throughout our tour in Iraq, Marshall performed exemplary and was always willing to execute the most dangerous missions. He often spoke of being back from Iraq and spending time with family and friends. Marshall was mature and reliable for his years and as a young Specialist he was already doing a Sergeant's job by taking care of and counseling all of the younger Soldiers in his section. He inspired us all to strive to be the best that we could."

"Marshall has provided inspirational leadership to this troop as well as anyone else he has come into contact while he was a Buffalo Soldier. A true professional, he set the example for all other Soldiers to follow in both words and deeds. Marshall was a great person to be around. He was one of the Soldiers that everyone liked. Marshall was deeply religious with a strong moral center. He truly enjoyed being in Crazy Horse Troop. I will miss him dearly. … I just want you to know that Marshall was not only an outstanding Soldier, but he was a good man."
