R. Lee Ermey passed away on Sunday, April 15 at the age of 74 and the loss was felt all across social media and the world. Ermey was more than the Sergeant who yelled at Pyle or the coach who helped save Silverman … he was a vet and a voice for the brave men and women who serve this country.
The United States Marines shared this video to honor his passing (get a tissue):
