Another Star in the VMI Galaxy

By Lt Col P

Marine Corps Reserve Col. Paul W. Brier has been nominated for appointment to the grade of brigadier general. Brier is currently serving as a [M]arine liaison officer to the Government of Guam.

Make that Col Paul Brier VMI '81.

Col Brier is a fighting Marine; during the Gulf War he commanded the greatest artillery battery in the history of warfare-- Battery H, 3d Battalion, 14th Marines-- in combat they lowered their tubes and engaged Iraqi armor with direct fire. He later went on to command the battalion as well. Recently, he raised and commanded 6th Civil Affairs Group in Iraq. He is a phenomenal officer and Marine. I know this from experience, having myself commanded Hotel Battery when (then) LtCol Brier was the battalion CO.

Congrats, sir, and good luck!
