Lt. Gen. John Wissler speaks with Manny Pacquiao Dec. 6 at Camp Courtney. Pacquiao, a native of the Philippines, wanted to personally thank Wissler for the U.S. military’s support in delivering humanitarian assistance and disaster relief to areas of the Philippines affected by Typhoon Haiyan. The relief effort was part of Operation Damayan, which provided support to the government of the Philippines and the Armed Forces of the Philippines in the aftermath of the storm. Wissler noted how the boxer’s Nov. 24 victory uplifted the spirits of the Philippine people and represented their resiliency. The conversation ended with Wissler wishing Pacquiao the best in his future endeavors. Wissler is the commanding general of III Marine Expeditionary Force.
