Marine Portrait
Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Christopher Lambert, Marine Corps Detachment instructor, attributes his upbringing in rural Appalachia to the work ethic that he has found mirrored in military life and volunteerism, which in turn has lead to more than 1,200 personal hours of volunteer service and an outstanding military volunteer medal for his three years at Keesler.
