Tribute to Ronald Lee Ermey 

Beautiful video you guys. Thank you!

This guy was the picture of Duty, Honor, Country. RIP Gunny.

"But always remember this, Marines die. That's what we're here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever. And that means, you live forever." RIP Gunny. See you at the Gates.

He was the Real Deal. He was a great actor, too. He will be missed. Semper Fi...Gunny.

From a fellow Brit, I just want to say you Americans had a national treasure and should be so proud to have had him within the US Marines. It was sad when I heard of his passing a few months ago, I loved the movies he was in, a talented actor and will be deeply missed. From across the atlantic, R.I.P Gunny!

I nominate 'the gunny' to be the next face carved onto Mt. Rushmore!

Miss you Gunny. You were a real credit to this country sir.

One of my fave lines is: "You will be ministers of death, praying for war!"

Hard to believe you left us. I guess your mission is complete but your legacy will live on. Rest in peace.

Saw this treasure in "Boys from Company C" in theatre with my uncle. He was a Navy Seal. The Gunny was my idea of what a man should be. Strong, but not a bully; Smart, but not a wise-ass. He should be proud, honest, and live with honor in all parts of your life. I raised my sons with these lessons. All 3 are tributes to what I learned. 1 son was in the Army, and his oldest is in the Army now. So Gunny please watch over my grandson if you can spare the time while training Angels.

Gunny isn't dead. He ascended to Heaven, God called him because He needed someone to kick His angels into shape for the coming Apocalypse.

You were the best drill instructor anyone could ask for, Sergeant Ermey. You will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace, Sir. *salutes*

From one proud Nam Vet to another....Semper Fi Gunny. RIP

P.S. I cried when i heard he died. I did it privately. I just loved him an would have followed him into battle anytime anywhere.

My first time seeing this. Rrquest permission to cry again Sir!

legends never die just MIA. Semper Fi

From a retired brother in arms Squid to a well respected, self disciplined, all American Jarhead, R.I.P Gunny. Thank you for your service..SIR!!

He was a legend

I have been a fan ever since i seen the THE BOYS IN COMPANY C RIP GUNNY

The British military do things rather differently but The Gunny had something special which appealed, irrespective of nationality. Not only did he talk the talk he walked the walk (not sure about the kilt tho'). A true legend in his own lifetime. Respect to The Gunny.

I'm proud to say there is a picture of this truly great man just to the left and above my head as I type this. Big big fan. RIP Gunny.

Marines do die but the marine corps lives on forever so that means you live forever-Drill Sgt Hartman full metal jacket

Ronald Lee Ermey april 15 2018 :( rest in peace, im gonna miss his face :/ HOORAH HOORAH HOORAH old friend

I cannot help myself to watch it again it would be an honor to serve with you sir you’re a great man and I promise you one thing you’ll never be forgotten🇺🇸💯

RIP GUNNY ! SEMPER FI , Carry on!!!

Rest In Peace, Sir.

When u were born in the 80s, he's the official drill sergeant.. Hurhaa

Damn he’s going to be missed, there will be no one in my life time to play the part like he done it. And that’s because he lived it in a time when men was men. God got him a warrior to lead and train the angels for the biggest war ever Armageddon.

HE KNOW STANDS GAURD AT THE GATES OF HEAVEN BECAUSE THAT IS THE NEXT DUTY ASSIGNMENT FOR ALL MARINES.

Semper Fi Gunny Thank you for your service OORAH

RIP Gunny!! We met 15 years ago, what an honor, what a man! Semper Fi brother, till we meet again!

thanks from a 3/1 scout 68-69 family loves you and your fam

God I miss him. Semper Fi

A friend of mine was the son of Stanley Kubrik's personal assistant at the time FMJ was filmed. He was around 11 or 12 and helped out on set and remembers Gy Sgt Ermey as a lovely, kind and honourable man. For my part his performance in that film has absolutely immortalised him - an absolute masterpiece.

RIP Gunney, much respect. Thank you for serving, I salute you,Semper Fi!!

Chestey showed him the way into heaven. I dont know who took point but. He got there goddamnit.

This is so patriotic that it showed a FanPole ad before the vid

Gunny, as you stand watch in your new post God can rest assure that not even the devil is going to get past you. We'll see you down range Brother. Semper Fi !!!

...? this singular Marine...by his dedication, respect to his service, and his commitment to protect and enlighten us, was honored further AFTER he retired from the USMC...? Hell Yes and TY Gunny Ermy and your family for your devotion and sacrifice for us... Semper Fi Sir..

One of my closest friends, and if you ever learn about his brother, it's because I was friends with him too. No one ever knows about him. That's who Lee truly was... Semper Fidelis, Captain T, U.S.M.C. Like you always told me, Marines are not allowed to did without permission. Get some...

Not only from me but from the entire US Army, thank you for your service Gunny! You will be missed

We all miss you gunny. Happy birthday Marine Corps! Save me a place in your company gunny. I will help protect Heaven's streets.

I first discovered him in mail call as well

RIP Gunnery Sgt. R. Lee Ermy. Thank You for Your Service to our Great Country. You will be sorely missed by all of us.

I was entering my senior year in September 1987 when FMJ was released. a month later I signed the papers to enlist and a year later I shipped to MCRD San Diego. the best decision I made was joining the Marine Corps

What a great man. He deserves this tribute.

USMC Respect ! God bless you forever Sir ! Even God, who doesn't have a last name !... Cares about us all who fights for him and our country our ways of life our countries ! A serious shout out to all of the people you made it possible to have this video up ! Hoorah !... Sincerely little brother Paul~ Semper Fi~

I will be attending boot camp at Paris island in September to be a proud Marine. That the best branch of armed forces the USA has to offer. I plan on making a career out of the marines and become a marine raider. R. Lee Ermey was astounding, upstanding man. Thank you Gunny. You sir, did America proud as I will do my best to make lady liberty proud. God bless the USA and God bless THE Gunny 🙏🇺🇸

RIP. I loved him, an honorable man. It doesnt matter what uniform you wear honor is honor and a man a man!

R.I.P SIR. 🇺🇸🙏💪

R.I.P., Gunny. Thank you for everything. We'll take it from here...

He sounds like the DI my brother had when he was in the USMC in 1964. My brother hated his guts but admitted that the DI was the reason he survived Vietnam. He said the DI's cried when they graduated boot camp. WOW.

He is a Marine, in the dictionary by the word marine they're just need a picture of him, no words necessary. Semper Fi,I know your among thousands of your Brothers, my Father being one CPL WILLIAM EARL CAINE 1ST MARINE DIVISION WW2 SCOUT SNIPER he passed away March 18 2018 at 95 years of age, he served with COL CHESTER PULLER and when the War ended he went to China to guard trains from the communist. He is my hero.

MAIL CALL!!!!!! Gunny was one of a kind. It was an honor to meet him when I had the chance.

God bless gunny!!! Thank you for your service you will never be forgotten!!!!!!!! You gotter done!!!!!

R.I.P Gunny. You will be missed. Semper Fi!

A great person ,actor , marine ... God bless him in the heaven...

Love this guy, my favorite DI, I will never forget getting ripped by the army DI's in 73 at Fort Polk, they were just like the him, they were outstanding

We"ll miss you "GUNNY"

Rest In Peace, Gunny! Your Marine Brothers and Sisters have The Watch! Semper Fi, Brother! :(

god love that Marine. He's guarding the gates now...

Oh I’m so sorry. I thought he was just an actor. Never knew he was a gunner. Big big respect to him 💔💜xx

One of the nicest people I have ever met!! He also gave me a coin that he had. R.I.P. Gunny, you are the best.

RIP Gunny and thank you for your service.

He was a precious American jewel that can never be replaced. He was one of a kind.

To those who find the music volume in the background, or the style/content of the music to be in poor taste I would offer my apologies for poor editing in trying to balance the track and the video sounds. If you had a problem with the track itself and its content then I am sorry you feel that way; whether it be the style of it or the meanings/interpretations of it. For me, I felt like "coming home" meant returning home after war/service and interpreted it in this case as Ronald coming home as in, home, where one goes after life--as your beliefs may direct. I have the most huge respect for him and it is why I made this :) Please show respect as well, for this man.

Gunny 👍 thanks for post !!! Amazing 😱 😍
