RIP Marine.

I just saw a program about the Chosin breakout featuring Mr. Lee.

Lee asked to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

I hope he gets his wish. Semper Fi.

Americans can only hope that our culture continues to produce such men.

The sad part is that some of the articles noting his passing focus on him being the first “Asian” officer and “smashing stereotypes.” This man was a hero, period. They need to stop with all the PC nonsense when they honor men like him.

He donned an orange vest so his spread-out Marines could see him during a blizzard and follow his orders, even though the vest made him a target for snipers.

I gotta hand it to this guy - it's bad enough he's seen giving orders, and therefore has a target on his back - he actually makes it easier for snipers gunning for him by wearing an orange vest.
