Gunny Ermey looking out for his Marines

VizBiz at RedState is mentioning that Gunny R. Lee Ermey is petitioning Congress as to how families of fallen Marines are notified by the the Department of the Navy.

Currently if a Marine falls in battle, the family will receive a letter from the Department of the Navy with no mention of the Marines. Ermey, along with U.S. Reps and Senators, are making a push to change the name of “Department of the Navy” to the “Department of the Navy and Marine Corps”.

Here are the links that he asked to be passed around. Feel free to take them for your blog.
