The RIP Thread

[1BROWNWRENCH]

What a great guy he was. I met him on board the USS Missouri in Hawaii just after he had finished filming an episode of Mail Call. I had snuck into the closed off filming area after I had noticed him. The wife thought we would get in trouble but I told her I had never been thrown off a battleship before and it would be worth it. We talked for about 10 minutes and he insisted my wife get more than just one picture of him and me because he wanted to make sure we had a good one. Rest in Peace R. Lee Emery--you will always be remember as one of the highlights of my life.

The Missouri was a lot less interesting in Bremerton.

Respect for a Marine. A DI that turned boys into members of the greatest fighting machine whose sole purpose in life is to protect our interests has died. The only reason we are aware of his existence is his career in Hollywood. I'm thankful his roles left him in a good light. I'm sure he accepted these roles knowing how they would reflect on him as a grunt. No bromance, simply respect on my part. I know your angle on the post though minuscule rat, I'll give you a pass.

There's a great modern mini feature on the FMJ bluray. R Lee basically snaked the role of the DI from the actor who played the trigger happy door gunner.

Painting. R. Lee doesn't get just any red x. His has to be done right!
