Mr. McDonald attributes his success to being a critical thinker. During his service in Korea, his most significant accomplishment was managing a tragic incident involving two teenage civilian girls. He had to frequently engage with Korean civilian government officials to negotiate, understand, make restitution, and ensure that their promises were kept. There were protests and they were even kicked out of the peninsula as a result. Despite what happened, many Korean government officials wanted him to stay as his replacement did not understand the importance of being more civilian government-minded on this issue.

Mr. McDonald believed that there is no more honorable profession than serving in the military. During his time in the military, he met many fascinating people, including government officials and individuals from foreign governments. His military career was a remarkable experience that left a lasting impact on him. In the immediate future, he hopes to offer mentorship to the nation’s youth.
