LEWIS B. PULLER "CHESTY"
Remarkable man, awesome leader, loving father, wonderful husband. He waited for 11 years for his wife to finally realize he was the one for her. She almost married someone else, she was engaged to a man she had dated for 3 yrs. . But the closer it got to the wedding date the more she realized all she thought about was Chesty. She compared every man to him, and no one could ever come close . She broke off the engagement and eventually said yes to Chesty who asked her to marry him 11 years earlier, at the time she said no and thought he was crazy for asking . She hardly knew him. And he was going off to war. But they kept in touch as freinds and wrote all the time. On their wedding night, he told her, she had made him the happiest man in the world. He was the most decorated Marine in the history of the Marine Corps. History marks his legend, a fierce unwavering warrior in battle, a calm, intelligent, compassionate, level headed man, off the battle field. A seasoned and decorated combat veteran of 3 wars, a general in his dress uniform who had no reservations about sitting on a hospital room floor and cutting out paper dolls with his 5yr old daughter who just got her tonsils out.
I try to pattern my character after him.
