We're Surrounded Chesty Puller Patch — Embroidered Patch They Can't Get Away Now "We're surrounded? Good. Now we can fire in every direction." The words attributed to Lieutenant Ge neral Lewis "Chesty" Puller capture the essence of Marine Corps fighting spirit — the refusal to see encirclement as defeat and the determination to turn every disadvantage into an opportunity. This patch carries one of the most famous quotes in military history. Chesty Puller is the most decorated Marine in the history of the Corps, receiving five Navy Crosses during a career that spanned Haiti, Nicaragua, World War II, and Korea. At the Chosin Reservoir in December 1950, Puller led his 1st Marine Regiment through one of the most brutal fighting withdrawals in military history, with Chinese forces surrounding the Marines in sub-zero temperatures. His legendary response to the encirclement became the defining statement of Marine Corps attitude — that being surrounded simply means you have more targets. Puller's leadership at Chosin, combined with his lifelong reputation for fearlessness and devotion to his Marines, made him the embodiment of everything the Corps stands for. Perfect For: Marine Corps veterans, Chesty Puller admirers, Chosin Reservoir commemorators, military leadership enthusiasts, Marine Corps history collectors, and anyone who refuses to quit Surrounded and undefeated. The Marine Corps way. Show more
