I have no words for this day, so I'll let some of his videos do the talking. Let the fond memories begin.

You might as well honor Gunny's memory by buying a Glock while you're at it. Gunny would approve!

That it is. As active, fit and busy as he was (for a 70-something), I was expecting him to see 100.
Also don't forget to visit his online store while it's still around ( http://www.rleeermey.com/ ). Last year, I ordered a copy of Gunny's Rules for my brother's birthday and requested that Gunny himself autograph it (for a modest fee, of course). So Gunny autographed it with "USMC Staff Sergeant Higginbotham, Semper Fi. --Gunny". And it was one of the coolest gifts that I've ever given my brother.
And Gunny won't ever autograph another book again. Pneumonia sucks. Death sucks a whole lot worse.
