Well... He must have received his orders...
Because Marines are not allowed to die without permission! As he also said... Today, you are Marines. You're part of a brotherhood. From now on, until the day you die, wherever you are, every Marine is your brother... always remember this: Marines die. That's what we're here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever, and that means you live forever. |

Sadly enough another "Gunny" my former next door neighbor's dad passed a few weeks ago. He was on Bougainville, Okinawa, and at the Chosen in Korea with Chesty Puller.
When he came to visit I took some of my collection to show him, Arisakas (I had a deep respect for them he said) 1903 Springfield which he earned an extra $5.00 per month for shooting Expert, an M1 Carbine, "good in the jungle but hated them in Korea", a USGI 1911A1 and a Garand which he when he picked it up got the look of meeting a long lost friend. He went through the "Stack Arms Drill" with us. Wish I had had more time to talk to him. |

I saw R. Lee on a couple of occasions at the Big Sandy shoots. He was there filming segments for one of the shooting programs he hosted. As you can imagine, being at a public shoot, he was interrupted frequently by fans for a word, photo or autograph. At all times we has patient, approachable and took time to talk to everybody who engaged him. . . even if it meant the crew had to wait a moment for him to get into position. Very impressive.
