I just learned on FaceBook that R. Lee Ermey (The Gunny) had passed away from complications from pneumonia.
He was an icon of the Vietnam era, and supported the troops everywhere. His wiki page has already been updated to reflect his passing.
You'll be missed, Gunny! We all loved you.
Well damn. He will be missed by many. I will miss seeing his shows and his love for the troops. He was a great american. Watermelons everywhere will rest a little easier tonight.
