    R. Lee Ermey

    RIP SSgt. R. Lee Ermey, 1944-2010
    http://www.nrahq.org/law/competitions/npsc/graphics/ermey.jpg
    It's with a heavy heart that I find myself writing this about someone I've admired for many years. Ever since "Full Metal Jacket", R. Lee Ermey emboded the image of a hard-ass Marine for most of us. He was a person whose personal life was as interesting as the characters he portrayed. Serving in the Marines from 1961-1972 as a staff seargent, he was later given the honorary rank of gunnery seargent because of his ongoing support of military personnel everywhere, and because of his gritty portrayal of Gunny Hartmann.
    He had a decorated career before being medically retired in 1972 because of the numerous injuries he sustained in his years of service. Ermey's service awards can be seen here:

    Ermey succumbed to complications associated with pneuomonia at 3:14 AM at his home in San Diego. His nearly sixty film appearances will continue to inspire and cement his legacy for many years to come.
    Give 'em hell, Gunny!

    I thought this was proven to be a hoax on Sat.

    Don't know...just got this email from another Marine. I can't find anything on the net about him dying so maybe it is and if so I apologize.

    Seems to be a scam to me, there is also a bank scam going around. You should send me your debit card number and PIN so I can make sure your account hasn't been compromised.

    Yeah, I'm three days older than he is. We served at the same time but never met him.
