Salute to a fellow Marine, may he long be remembered.
He never served in the military and I don't think he made the honorary list, though, yeah, I hope he's long remembered.
Pappy Boyington died in 1988, and yes, he was a Marine and commanded VMF-214.
My mistake, for some reason I thought you were talking about the real Boyington. Stupid me, I realize he died years ago. Need to read more carefully. So embarrassing.
