Rockmore learned of a Marine Medal of Honor recipient from World War II, who served on Iwo Jima, couldn't afford to send his son to college. Gen. Rockmore sprang into action and organized the first Leatherneck Ball. Today, MCSF offers financial support worth nearly 185 million to over 50,000 men and women.
