Puller showed concern and interest in troops that were not even from his unit area. Every man who ever had to go to military jail would return to him after serving their respective time and they would mostly stop going to military jail after. He would even drop in to visit his men at the hospital. The men wounded due to the 1st Battalion was given a personal letter from Puller which says: “The officers and men of the 1st Battalion, Seventh Marines, recall with pride the part that you played in our success against the enemy until you received your injury in action.”
