Excerpt from 'Most Decorated Marine of All Time! Lt. General Chesty Puller'

He shouted battlefield orders in a bellow that rattled the Halls of Montezuma. He stalked about under enemy fire as though he were daring anyone to hit him. He had an abiding love for the enlisted man who did the killing and the dying, and a sneering hatred for the staff officer who did the sitting and the meddling.

He thrived on combat until he became a legend to his troops—the toughest fighting man in the whole United States Marines. His name was Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller, and when he was retired in 1955 as a lieutenant general, he was the most decorated man in Marine Corps history.

Here is the story of the most courageous warrior and legendary Marine of them all. Lieutenant General Lewis “Chesty” Puller.
