Look at me closely. Look into my eyes. The pronunciation of the Lejeune family name is incontrovertibly incontrovertibly rock-hard LUH-Jern. You can make a wager on it.
Kudos' to P.T. Brent for his article on General John Archer LeJeune in the April 2008 edition of LEATHERNECK. Respect and proper recognition are long overdue for one of our greatest leaders of Marines. When I checked into Hotel Co, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines for a short tour prior to leaving for Vietnam in 1966, EVERYBODY pronounced the general's name as the general himself did - "Luh Jern." I'm not sure how or why the pronunciation was allowed to change over the years,
