Famous Marine and Army generals who descended from Confederates: Puller, Lejeune and Patton

….Lieutenant General Lewis “Chesty” Puller

The most revered Marine in the history of the United States Marine Corps is Lewis Burwell “Chesty” Puller.

Chesty was the grandson of a Confederate hero that was killed in action with Major John Pelham.

.
Puller was proud his grandfather served in the War Between the States (that is exactly what it was and what he called it) and died in that conflict. Puller’s paternal Grandfather was Major John William Puller, 5th Virginia Cavalry, ANV (Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by Robert E. Lee).

Major Puller was elected Capt of the Gloucester Lt Dragoons in 1859 – mustered in as Capt of Compay A of the 5th and was promoted to major on Dec 15,1862. He was killed in action at Kelly’s Fords on March 17, 1863.

Puller’s grandmother died of exposure after being put out of her home by illegally invading federal troops.

Also interesting to note is, and as Chesty was often reminded around the supper table, his great-grandfather was shot out of the saddle with Jeb Stuart’s cavalry, and he had a great-uncle who commanded a division at Gettysburg.

His cousin was the famous WWII US Army four-star general George S. Patton.

Col. George Smith Patton Sr. was a Confederate colonel during the American Civil War. He was the grandfather of World War II general George S. Patton. Wikipedia

Born: June 26, 1833, Fredericksburg, VA

Died: September 25, 1864, Winchester, Virginia, VA

Parents: John M. Patton

Education: Virginia Military Institute

Children: George S. Patton, Susan Glasell Patton, John Mercer Patton, Andrew Glasell Patton, Eleanor Thornton Patton

Place of burial: Shockoe Hill Cemetery, Richmond, VA, Stonewall Cemetery

Back to Chesty — he was a thirty-seven-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps, and rose to the rank of lieutenant general, earning five Navy Crosses, the U.S. Navy’s second-highest decoration, for fighting in Nicaragua, at Guadalcanal and in New Guinea during World War II (1939–1945), and at the Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War (1950–1953).

You see, since Lincoln’s illegal invasion and subsequent UNCONSTITUTIONAL WAR (ie Section IV Article IV again) on the South, the Sons and Daughters of Confederate heroes have served in the armed forces of the United States. We still serve in the armed forces of the United States.
Still.

Notice to newcomers to the country, interloping carpetbaggers and scalawags:

STOP trashing our fathers, our people and our monuments that serve as grave stones to the ones who did not get to come home.

The truth is, dishonoring Confederates dishonors American veterans. Plain and simple. No real American dishonors any American veteran. And that’s the truth.

General Puller famously led 100,000 surrounded Marines out of North Korea in a brilliant fighting retreat after a half-million Red Chinese suddenly invaded and attacked. It was called the “Battle of the Frozen Chosin [Reservoir].”

As Puller radioed to Washington: “We are advancing to the rear!”

My father fought as a staf sergeant in WWII (Tinian, Saipan and Iwo Jima), and then as a captain in Korea.

Puller was a true legend whom both officers and enlisted men respected and revered.

Puller also testified with a powerful effect before the US Congress in the early days of WWII in the Pacific about shoddy military equipment he experienced in the Battle of Guadalcanal– such as binoculars that fogged up!

You can be as brave as you want, and the Marines are all that, but you need equipment that works! After then-Colonel Chesty Puller testified, things got better fast for American fighting men.

….General John Lejeune

And now a little more truthful United States military history. Since Lincoln’s illegal and unconstitutional war on the South (ie Section IV Article IV of the original Constitution delivered to the states by the Framers in Constitutional Convention)

the Sons and Daughters of Confederate citizen-soldiers have served in the United States Military with distinction and honor.

This is the Marine for whom the Camp Lejeune Marine base in North Carolina is named, and yes, he was one of the Sons of Confederate veterans whether he was ever a member of the organization or not.

Major General John Archer Lejeune was the 13th Commandant of the USMC, and was the Son of a Confederate soldier, Captain Ovide Lejeune (of obvious French-Canadian/Cajun ancestry).

John Archer Lejeune, was born in 1867 in Louisiana (yep, a Cajun), and died in 1942. Serving in the US military for a 40-year career, he led units in multiple military efforts, including the Spanish-American War, the Cuban Campaign, and World War I.

He became the 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps in 1920. Retiring from service in 1929, he subsequently became the superintendent of the Virginia Military Institute.

He died on November 20, 1942 and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. The Marine Corps base in Jacksonville, North Carolina was named Camp Lejeune in honor of the commander.

Major General Lejeune was awarded the Cross of Military Service by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. This coveted medal is awarded to lineal descendants of Confederate soldiers who served with honor. Imagine the screams in the jewsmedia TODAY if any US officer accepted such a medal!

Just imagine what you’d know about our white heroes if agenda-driven, communist, jew control-freaks had not taken over almost completely the education system in the United States.

…..My comment

I was well aware from Marine boot camp on about the great Chesty Puller, and I also trained at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, but I definitely was not told of their heroic, glorious, Confederate-officer ancestors. (US Army general George Patton also had a heroic Confederate ancestor, btw.)

In the old days, see, before they perhaps fell in battle, all white men actually married and had white children, because the J-Team had not yet turned white women into lying, feminist battleaxes like Christine Blasey Ford.

And men also could land a decent job, afford a family, and buy a home and a new car.

I live today in a copper miner’s house, built in 1912, with three bedrooms, from back when blue-collar white men could afford all that, and four or five kids, and their wives were proud housewives and mothers!
