He met the first requirement: He died while serving his country.
Actually, that is NOT a requirement, and you know that, Marine!
Pbbttt!
Lee Marvin is buried there, and HE did not die serving his country!
In fact, there is a lot of hullabaloo of just what does it take to get buried there, and the minimum award is a Silver Star now for the Common Marine/Soldier/Sailor.
That article mentions NONE of this for an award, so, I wonder: Is Mom distraught or is there more to the story that they arent telling us about this Marine?
NEVER FORGET.
