The Most Decorated Marine In the U.S. History: His Life, His Legacy

Second Major War

By the time November of 1944 came, puller had to make his return back home in the United States to take charge of the Infantry Training Regiment based at Camp Lejeune, in Jacksonville, North Carolina. This happened just a few months after his brother died. Being trained by him alone would be an honor. Following World War II there were commands that came in from New Orleans and at Pearl Harbor. The Korean War commenced by June 1950, that gave Puller and the U.S. Marines another chance to prove themselves.
