Dang, dang, and dang.
My first introduction to his work was in the movie, "The Boys of Company C."
He will be missed.

The best quote is his own, from Full Metal Jacket:
"Marines die, that's what we're here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever. And that means YOU live forever."

FIFY.
St Peter has the gate. The Marines patrol the streets.
Speaking of Marines, Marine Recruit Jr Termite is doing quite well. Projected graduation date is May 25th.
