Thanks for your patriotism, Snow Bunny!

Chesty and his son, Lewis B. Puller, Jr. when he was sworn in as a Marine officer, 1967.

Lewis, Jr. lost both his legs and most of his hands in Vietnam, and then lost his mind to addictions and died by his own hand in 1994. His book, "Fortunate Son", is a good one. It would fill any jarhead's stocking nicely in about 6 weeks.

Semper Fidelis,

That is one of the saddest photos I never saw before; I knew how it ended, and that makes it worse!
