1st Lt. John McJunkin, the Regional Command Southwest operation and maintenance Marine Corps budget officer, and a native of Houston, enlisted into the Marine Corps less than a year after September 11, 2001. McJunkin was a student at Texas A&M International University in Laredo, Texas, on 9/11. “That was when I said ‘okay, I’m going to pick up arms,” McJunkin said. “I’m going to protect our freedom of religion that is provided in America. I’m not going to allow extremism through Islamic jihad to grow and affect our way of life. It’s just not going to happen on my watch.’”
