Loved Ones Lost

Marine

Puller took command of the 1st Marine Regiment during the battle in Peleliu which resulted in one of the most intense battles ever to be recorded in the Marine Corps history. He went on to get one of the two Legion of Merit awards he would receive. They hand out this award to men who have shown outstanding meritorious conduct. His battles were not all something to celebrate about as his brother Samuel D. Puller was sniped by the enemies in Guam. Puller had to go back home right after. Though this war was indeed eventful and something to remember, his iconic battles were far from over.
