In 1970, Marshall Montgomery was born into a multi-generation military family in Hollywood, California; and his life has been a true manifestation of patriotism and activism in both local and global communities ever since. Marshall’s earliest memories are of his childhood living room which was adorned with President Reagan’s official portrait. His father participated with the Ronald Reagan Administration requiring trips back and forth to the White House for world crisis discussions and private dinner events. Marshall was only 12 when his father passed away, thrusting Marshall onto the mean streets of Hollywood, where he learned the hardest and most pragmatic form of survival and entrepreneurship while taking care of his mother and sisters.
At an early age he found himself dedicated to providing the less fortunate and weakest in his neighborhood with the security needed to live without fear in a hostile environment. In his early twenties, he created his first security business providing personal protection services to both celebrities and other professional individuals. Marshall often provided such services to visiting dignitaries from outside of Los Angeles, and readily accepted the assignments regardless of the level and extent of the protective services that were required.
Marshall enlisted in the Navy at the age of 25. An overachiever from boot camp on, he was meritoriously advanced on a regular basis and was awarded The Navy League Award given to only 1 out of every 2600 sailors. A Distinguished and Honorable Military graduate of numerous Naval schools among them Common Core School (3 weeks Oct 95), Mechanical Core School (4 weeks November 95), Engineman Class “A” School (9 weeks January 96), Auxiliary Systems (8 weeks April 96); Marshall was deployed two times and has fought in Operation Desert Fox in Iraq (Clinton Administration December 98).
Always the first to volunteer for hazardous duty assignments, much of his service record and responsibilities are classified. What can be recorded, however, is that Marshall was part of the Iraqi Embargo Team that was responsible for boarding and searching every vessel that came in or out of Iraq during the operation.
For his service, Marshall has been awarded the following decorations, medals, badges, citations and campaign ribbons:
National Defense Service Medal
Sea Service Deployment Ribbon (on two occasions)
Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (on two occasions)
Certificate of Appreciation
Joint Meritorious Unit Ribbon,
Navy Unit Commendation
Letter of Commendation
Meritorious Unit Commendation
Expert Pistol Medal
Returning stateside and stationed in San Diego on the USS John Young (Destroyer DD973), Marshall was honorably released from active duty in 1999, and upon return to civilian life, and with the additional tools and training provided him during his military service, he continues to pursues his dedication to empower and protect the innocent and weak from those who would seek to prey upon them. Regardless of whether the assignment is from a major corporation or “simply” cleaning up a neighborhood in need, and plagued by gang and drug activities, Marshall is adept and equipped in handling the job at hand.
