Really? I like Fuhrman, He got a bad rap. I had no idea he was a former marine. Like him even more now.

A hero to me.

RIP 1922 - 2008.

RIP.
Hope he had a good life afterwards. No doubt in a better place now.

Sorry Sir.
God Bless you and Uncle Fred.

I believe the thread was made the list marines made famous by their other actions, stop listing marines made famous for being marines.

And I believe that when your a mod......then you can moderate.

Until that time don't moderate or attempt to.

And BTW it's about famous people who have served in the Marine Corps so your wrong.

Which is what I meant.

Didn't know it took a mod to point out the purpose of a thread.

Well there ya go....now you know.

Has far as I'm concerned anyone who wants to can list their uncle, brother whoever if they served in the Marine Corps, up to and including Private Shmuckatelli........anyone who has ever served in the Corps knows that guy.

Ooh-Rah Gunny, all marines should be famous in this country. Any marine that raised their right hand has put their butt on the line at that moment. Heroes!
