David Crist was a first lieutenant when his father retired. He served in the Gulf War and later transitioned to the Reserve, retiring as a colonel in 2020.
Along the way, he authored a book, “The Twilight War: The Secret History of America’s Thirty-Year Conflict with Iran,” which details much of what his father dealt with while in command.
His father’s handling of the Tanker War, which the general dubbed a “guerilla war at sea,” would later be studied by joint, naval and combatant commanders for lessons on how to build joint task forces, especially to fight irregular threats, Crist said.
But even with combat and command positions alongside all the services, George Crist knew his team and what it meant to him.
“He was a Marine through and through,” Crist said. “He loved being around Marines.”
