[Daily Caller] Gunnery Sgt. Ronald Lee Ermey received his final salute Friday from family and other members of the U.S. Marines when he was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery.
Ermey, who died last April at age 74 from complications of pneumonia, was interred with full military honors that included a three-volley salute and the presentation of the American flag. He was cremated with his remains now residing at the famous cemetery.
The "Full Metal Jacket" star spent 11 years serving with the Marines before he turned his talents into a career in Hollywood with such great movies as "Mail Call," "Seven" and "Saving Silverman," just to name a few. |
