“The Greatest Marine I Ever Knew”

I want to tell you of a great marine. His name is Gunnery Sergeant Jerald J. boullion. He was a crew chief on a "Sea Stallion". He recieved two medals for service above and beyond the call of duty. His first came when he had all of the CH-53's in the Marine Corps grounded, when, after losing one of his 'copters in the Indian Ocean, he found a weak shear-pin in the main prop shaft. His love for his country and the Marine Corps still sounds true today, every time I speak to him. His three trips to Vietnam, and multiple deployments throughout the U.S. and abroad teaching and instructing other Marines about the mighty CH-53 "Sea Stallion" are just a few of his many great accomplishments. I should know. He's my dad.
