Finally found a mention of a hoax



Saw this on my Jeep site... can't confirm... have any of ya'll seen this?

Subject: FW: Death of Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey - United States
Marine Corps
Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2010 09:26:35 -0500

.RIP R. Lee Ermey, 1944-2010

It's with a heavy heart that I find myself writing this about someone
I've admired for many years. Ever since "Full Metal Jacket", R. Lee
Ermey embodied the image of a hard-*** Marine for most of us. He was a
person whose personal life was as interesting as the characters he
portrayed. Serving in the Marines from 1961-1972 as a staff sergeant,
he was later given the honorary rank of gunnery sergeant because of his
ongoing support of military personnel everywhere, and because of his
gritty portrayal of Gunny Hartmann.

He had a decorated career before being medically retired in 1972 because
of the numerous injuries he sustained in his years of service. Ermey's
service awards can be seen here:

Ermey succumbed to complications associated with pneumonia at 3:14 AM at
his home in San Diego. His nearly sixty film appearances will continue
to inspire and cement his legacy for many years to come.

Give 'em hell, Gunny! Now Guarding the Gates,

A slow hand salute

There is no humour in such a hoax

if it ain't oin CNN it never happened..
