FAVORITE COVERS

While looking through our archives for various reasons, we often find ourselves marveling at Leatherneck covers from days gone by.

We thought they were interesting enough to share with our readers! Take a peek at some of our favorites from the 1930s.

BOB HOPE

Bob Hope was known to be a friend to our troops.

"Shanks For The Memories" is a new exhibition devoted to artifacts of his legacy.

View photos of Leatherneck coverage of his 1947 visit to Camp Pendleton.

EULOGY FOR COL RIPLEY

Leatherneck received a copy of the eulogy given by Col John W. Ripley's son, Thomas H. Ripley, at his funeral.
