Phyllis Alexander - Marine Pioneer

From the 1950s to the early 1970s, Phyllis Alexander helped pave the way for the new generations of Marines who would follow. She was a retired Marine Chief Warrant Officer, a former drill instructor, and for more than a decade she was a volunteer at the Parris Island Museum. She was in charge of the Museum Gift Shop and you could certainly tell she loved meeting people and sharing her experiences with the many thousands who passed through there. At Parris Island Phyllis Alexander was an icon. Like "Iron Mike" and the Iwo Jima Monument, she was a constant and familiar presence. The Parris Island Museum Gift Shop is now named "Alexander Ship's Store" in her honor.
