From the moment he first put on the uniform of the United States Marine Corps,\u00a0Steven M. Lipscomb<\/strong> made a silent promise \u2014 to stand between danger and the people he cared about.

His leadership was calm, steady, and consistent. The men trusted him because he led with the same discipline he learned in the Marines.<\/p>\n
