Here's a piece of trivia for you. Puller and his men were rescued from the Matanikau River area of Guadalcanal by two LCTs and 8 Higgins boats under the control of Coast Guard Signalman 1st Class Douglas A. Munro. Munro is credited to providing suppressing fire which enabled the Marines to board the other landing craft. When one of the LCTs ran aground and came under fire from the Japanese, Munro maneuvered his boat between the stranded vessel and the shore and continued the suppressive fire. As the last of the Marines were evacuated and the grounded boat refloated, Munro was hit by enemy fire. His last words were, "Did they all get off?" before he died. Munro is the only U.S. Coast Guardsman to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

I met General Puller at his home in Rural Virginia. I was a navy midshipman on summer cruise in Norfolk in 1966. A friend of mine and fellow midshipman was a Marine Option which meant that he was going to the Marines after gfraduation. His name was Bob Pearson and one Friday while on The USS Guadalcanal he said to me that tomorrow we are going to see General Puller. I had no idea who General Puller was but went along with my friend. We drove up route 17 to somewhere near Tappahanic (sic) Virginia. We stopped to ask where Puller lived and without any difficulty we were directed to his house Puller lived in a very modest little bungelow style house with a white picket fence. The two of us in our white minshipmen uniforms walked up to the door and knocked.Mrs Puller opened the door and we asked if we could see the General. She graciously invited us in sat us down in the parlor and brought us lemonade. The General came in and sat with us. He was most kind and asked us many questions and we were with him for at least an hour. I still did not know who General Puller really was but over the years I did research and understood his history. As I look back it was a highlight in my life to be honored to meet him.

My favorite Chesty Puller story was told by a Marine who served with him in Korea. A South Korean unit was under attack by a Chinese division. When they called back for aid Chesty asked how many Chinese were in the attacking force. The ROK unit commander said, "Oh, many many". When the ROK second in command was asked the same question by Chesty he gave the same answer. Chesty then asked if there were any Marines attached to their unit. He got a sergeant on line and asked him the same question. The Marine replied, "Sir, there's a whole G** D***** P*** Pot full of them." To which Puller replied, "Thank God somebody up there can count." Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, now commanding the Marine Guard at the gates of Heaven. Rest In Peace, Sir! With much respect from a disabled veteran!!

Here's a Puller story I read many many years ago: At the time General Puller was stationed at Camp Pendleton, California. His beautiful daughter was a debutante and was having her "coming out" ceremony. The two of them posed for photographs on the lawn one day. She was wearing a beautiful dress. He was in his full dress uniform, medals all over it, seams creased so sharp you could use them for a knife, shoes you couldn't look at because they were so bright. The Navy photographer got a good picture of the two of them. The next day the photo was on the front page of the Marine Camp Pendleton newspaper, along with a caption which read: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! He loved it!

My Grandfather was a Marine that proudly served with him in Nicaragua. We are Americans now because my Grandfather married a Nicaraguan woman. Chesty wrote the book how on how to fight guerillas on their turf. He pioneered long range recon patrols in guerrilla territory for weeks/months at a time, up & down rivers in boats in the jungles or in the mountains on foot & on horses & mules. He became an expert on teaching & leading indigenous forces to fight for themselves. That was just the start of his amazing career. When I was going through Marine boot camp 50 years later, we always ended the night after they called lights-out by saying, "Goodnight Chesty, wherever you are." I always felt like we had come full circle. Semper Fi, Chesty. Semper Fi, Grandpa.

Which makes it all the more of a shame and something of a disgrace that he was never allowed to serve in Vietnam.

Intensely proud that he attended Virginia Military Institute, if only briefly. He made it through his Rat (freshman) year, and left VMI to fight in World War I. The war ended before he managed to make it into combat, but that didn’t deter him. He was a terrific Marine. I am a graduate of the Class of ‘67 from VMI, two combat deployments* in Vietnam as a platoon leader and company commander in the 82d Airborne Division (Tet Offensive in 1968) and First Air Cavalry Division. Wounded twice. Have tremendous respect for the Marine Corps though born and raised in an Army family (my father was in OSS in World War II.Many VMI Brother Rats who were great Marines. Agree wholeheartedly that Puller would have been far more effective in Vietnam than Westmoreland. 12:12 12:15 * I use the term deployments because the term “tours” which was in vogue during Vietnam made it sound like some damn travel agency like Thomas Cooke and sons arranged for us to experience that terribly mismanaged war.

Even then, many of the Marine Corps brass didn't particularly like Chesty. He was a bit too unconventional and outspoken for many of the more traditionally minded brass. It was something of a miracle that he made it as far as he did, IIRC it took him quite a while to get his second and third stars. And despite his sterling record as a combat commander, he never held a combat command after Korea. They also turned down his request to go to/help out in Vietnam even though he would have had a lot to teach the men under his command.

@@Riceball01 With the exception of maybe Eisenhower or Nimitz, it seems most of the great US military leaders of that time period weren't liked by "the brass". And nothing has changed. Most career officers are political animals, in it for whatever position and power they can get for themselves. When somebody comes along who is actually in it to fight and is good at it, they automatically hate that guy. Sure when faced with life or death level war, they'll use those guys as much as they can. But as soon as the war has died down or it's over, they'll try to shoehorn them out. It's worse now than ever to the point where I wonder if the modern brass could manage to even win a major war today.

​@@comradeklar5749 I agree completely. I served for 6 years from 1993 to 1999. I actually received two page 11 entries. Of course I was a low ranking enlisted guy at the time with a focus on partying and going out with my buddies. As time went on I learned responsibility. My attitude changed completely and by the end of my enlistment I have become very much like the NCOs who I used to think hated their family life because they were always staying late at work. I remember sending my guys home while I stayed behind to wrap up work. The only reason I left was because my wife at the time said she would leave me if I reenlisted. After speaking with other Marines I served with, I think the decision probably was for the best because they were telling me that so many problems were being taken care of by writing people up. I can remember being told to dig foxholes and trenches for punishment. As I matured in the Corps, I remember having no problems giving up some of my free time to punish junior Marines by taking away theirs. Forcing them to be ready for a uniform inspection at 0800 on Saturday morning meant that I too had to be squared away with my uniform as well as my shave and everything. So even though I knew my Friday night was ruined, I didn't care because I knew my responsibility was to ensure my Marines received proper discipline.

I have always wandered how some people with only basic education succeed far beyond most high scholars. Were they unknown savant level intellects? Who didn't want to be discovered? Were they just naturally smart enough to not need collage and see it as a waste of time? Would they have went even further and done better if they had collage? Does collage destroy and hinder naturally intelligent people? Is collage damaging to a lot of people? Is collage for unintelligent people, for those who need it and couldn't succeed without it? Who knows? But the question remains. I predict the question will never be honestly answered because no collage will study it fearing the results of the study.

I get a sense of duty to remember these heroes. I never served, too young for Vietnam and too old for Iraq. I sometimes ask myself why I never enlisted.

To these Patriots, I owe my freedom, despite the greed of the Deep State who arranged wars for their own profit, upon whose backs these men and women sacrificed their lives. And it now appears that the villains in our government and their benefactors, seek to enter into another world war. May God soon return and cast out the evil into the lake of fire.
