Honoring the most decorated U.S. Marine

A U.S. Marine Corps detachment from Fort Lee in Petersburg made its 26th annual relay run to Christ Church Parish at Christchurch for a memorial service at the grave of Lt. General Lewis B. “Chesty” Puller, the most decorated U.S. Marine. “Chesty Puller is a national hero,” said Lt. Col. Marina D. Foster. “From World War II to the ‘Chosin Few’ (in Korea) his actions and efforts helped shape the Marine Corps’ history and that of our nation. He was a true leader and an American legend.” (Photo by Tom Chillemi)
