This week we discuss the life of the most decorated Marine in US History, Lewis "Chesty" Puller! Yep, it's another badass! We get distracted a fair bit too, and there's a lot of US military jargon that we don't fully understand becuase A) We are Australian and B) we are podcasters and NOT in the military. Regardless, Chesty is a very impressive person! Twitter: @DoGoOnPod Instagram: @DoGoOnPod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoGoOnPod/ Email us: dogoonpod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast....
