I found a book in the trash many years ago about Chesty. I picked it up and read it. It was a remarkable story, one of those rare people who are larger than life.

Have you read “Fortunate Son” by Lewis Puller, Jr? Chesty’s kid’s story is a tragedy.

I read the same book about Chesty Puller “MARINE! The Life of Chesty Puller”. Quite the story.
Avoid the one written by his son, very sad.
