About Me
Paragraph 1: My name is Mark Wayne Clark. I am a Senior officer of the United States Army. I went to the United States Military Academy and United States Army Command and General Staff College. I was born on May 1, 1896 in Madison Barracks, Hounsfield, NY. My spouse’s name is Maurine Doran. My children’s names are Patricia Ann Clark and William Clark. I served in WWI, WWII, and the Korean War. I served from 1917 to 1953.

Paragraph 2: I had an interesting life before the war. I was known for the ability to smuggle sweets into the barracks. I graduated West Point as 110th in a class of 139. As I was in the war, I ranked up. Between WWI and WWII, I served in a variety of different places.

Paragraph 3: When I was in WWII, I did many things for the U.S. army. I ordered the bombing of the Abbey of Monte Cassino During the Battle of Monte Cassino. I did it under the direct orders of British Army General Sir Harold Alexander. When I was on my way to the Anzio beachhead, I was Mistakenly fired on by U.S. naval vessels. Several of my fellow sailors were killed. I almost died again when my plane’s wing got caught and started in a downwards spiral.
