Years ago an old timer around here was a China Marine before WWll. He was Chesty's 1st shirt in Korea. He always said Chesty was a Marine's Marine! Had a few stories to tell. He gave me a set of his chevrons.

I know where he is. "If the Army and the Navy ever gaze on Heaven's scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines".

I read a book about him a while ago.
They don't make 'em like him anymore.
I always suprised how many "in service" Marines don't know who he was. They know the name, but don't know anything about him.

And he was a genius with a Thompson! Definitely someone I'd loved to have shared a beer with.

Thank you for a great post.

I drank a beer or 2 with one of the very last marines out of that reservoir.

You would not have lived very long if you said anything derogatory about Chesty.

He also told the story of Chesty marching on top of a ridge there daring ANY north Korean to fire a shot at him.

Good video, my nephew was a Marine. My niece's husband is a Marine.

Hi,
I think Chesty said at the "Frozen Chosin" "I'm surrounded??? Good! That means I can kill those Basta#*ds no matter which direction I shoot!!!
