Find this picture on the internet while trying to explain what marine dress blues look like to someone who asked. Just curious if anyone knows who is Marine is or if he is even real? Thanks for the help

Right out of the gate, I would have said Colonel Wesley L. Fox but in comparing photo's it doesn't appear to be him.

I played call of duty lots of hours. fun puzzle no bird = no colonel, no star = no general. Beau Bridges?
 
Scout: Agree

JKamal - picture is of a Lt. Col (silver oak leaves) but that doesn't mean that was the individual's final rank. Field grade cover means not a General. The individual in the picture is wearing the Medal of Honor.

I now think it could be Col. Harvey C. Barnum, Jr.
Physical resemblance and a quick look at the awards seems to line up. Would have to do a deep dive to see if they are all the same.

There certainly seems to be a resemblance.
 
path to take for me = USNA -> USMC -> SOCOM -> fight ISIS ( like in game call of duty ghost warrior )
