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

Puller’s Hero

Like we had said before, Puller drew a lot of his inspirations from the civil war while growing up. The Civil War got over by 1865 which was actually 30 years he was even born. He met a lot of those war veterans who ended up being his heroes as a young man. His biggest idol was Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. He had similar traits with the rigid general too. Puller was famous for his cigar-chewing and his strong jawline and his lack of tolerance for America’s enemies. His sheer determination and diligence is something that ranks him on the same level as his idols.
