Carl Epting Mundy Jr. (July 16, 1935 – April 2, 2014) was a United States Marine Corps four-star general who served as the 30th Commandant of the Marine Corps and a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from July 1, 1991, until his retirement on June 30, 1995, after 42 years of service. He was notable for his opposition to military service by gay people and for helping to shape the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy of 1993.[1]
From 1996 to 2000, Mundy served as president and CEO of the United Service Organizations.[2] He was also the chairman of the Marine Corps University Foundation,[3] and served on a number of corporate boards.
