Member Salute is a series of brief profiles describing the diverse Marine Corps Association & Foundation members from around the world.

Col Richard Fitzwater, USMCR (Ret) lives in Burke, Virginia. He spent 27 years in the Marine Corps and has been a member of the Marine Corps Association & Foundation for about 17 years.

A former infantryman, he attended the Ground Dinner in Arlington, Virginia to hear General Paxton speak.

“I’m meeting up with old friends and meeting new people,” Fitzwater said.

Fitzwater said he’s a member of the Marine Corps Association & Foundation to keep in touch with current events in the Marine Corps during retirement.

“The no 1 reason is staying close to the Corps,” Fitzwater said. “There are some things that I don’t keep up with that were very important to me when I was in uniform. It depends on what you do after you retire. I know for lots of our friends this is probably the only association they have and they try to stay current with what’s going on with the Corps.”
