General Puller was one of America's greatest military men. He is the most decorated US Marine in history.
Even in the direst of circumstances, he had a sense of humor, and remained fearless. During a battle in the Korean War, General Puller was heard to say "They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can't get away from us now!"
