I will play CoD tonight in his honor. If I can get the 360 to fire up again. I paid extra to have the Sarge voice pack so I get to hear him berate me when I screw up.
For your entertainment.

Please check the interwebs – this appears to be a hoax.
Unfortunately no hoax. His manager confirmed.
He died this morning..
This afternoon he met Dan Daley and Chesty Puller and was assigned as NCOIC of the Guard Mount
RIP Devil Dog.
He will be missed . Til we all meet again.
Dammit. 🙁
RIP.
From one Marine to another
Here’s health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.
Godspeed Gunny, Semper Fi.
