The very embodiment of, “I’m not trapped in here with you…”

When he was forced to retire until the day he died you could literally just walk up to chesty pullers house in......virginia I believe and he and Mrs Puller would invite you in for tea and cookies and trade stories about the corps. He is a true leader. Goodnight Chesty Puller wherever you are.
