Lee Marvin January 1984

[@stevetessier6568]

A great actor and a humble man. He spoke at a graduation when I was in the Marine Corps. It was a great thrill to meet him, and have a few drinks with him. We were all scout-snipers. He told us about his time in the barrel. God bless him eternally.

[@davidallbaugh6858]

Lee Marvin was in the Marines in WW II. He saw brutal combat in the Marianas in the Summer of 1944 where was badly wounded and spent the rest of the War recovering

[@emilymcfadden4360]

A friend who was a LA county Sherrif was called to Lees home. He said Lee was an OK Guy.

[@jimclark6256]

Lee Marvin spent 13 months in the hospital recovering from his wound, it severed the sciatic nerve. Did anyone notice how he did not spent much time talking about his combat experience. Great marine , great actor, great American.

[@mmmodafoca]

Yeah, he doesn't really talk about it. i'm on a hunt for an interview where he deflects the idea of being a war hero to someone else. AND the only reason i know of this interview is because Tom Hanks and Stephen Colbert had a conversation discussing said interview and how amazing that Marvin thought Captain Kangaroo was a true war hero.. in comparison to Marvin.

The actors of the 50's and 60's were the soldiers of WWII and Korea. They went to real boot camp, not a three day taste, when it mattered, and ended up in combat. The amazing thing is that they never really brought it up, it was just a given that they and their peers, were all in government issue

Actually, there were about 250 guys in Marvin's unit in the 4th Marines on Saipan and about 5 of them survived the war. One is about as terrible a death toll as the other, but I just thought you might want to know it wasn't quite that grim. But that is only talking about Saipan, which was his last battle. Lee Marvin also invaded about 20 different islands in the Marshalls and I don't know if anyone knows how many of his comrades were killed there. He was a scout-sniper inserted just around daybreak to spy out the Japanese defenses and bunkers. I can only imagine that was a terribly dangerous job in the Marines.

MOS 0317 normally a second military occupation, scout sniper. I trained with the M40A1, and a 79 day course in k bay Oahu. Shooting center of 9" pie plates at a thousand yards. 30-06 kicks and you need a shooter jacket big time. But a person being shot at that distance, a dead man! The training is intense, many in first week rock out from just not wanting it bad enough, or just cannot shoot accurate enough to qualify! Lee probably has many stories to tell from the battle field in a shooter nest!

[@ToddSauve]

Lee Marvin was actually a true scout, for the most part, during WW2. He was inserted onto around 20 different islands in the Marshalls during that campaign early in the morning to scout out the Japanese bunkers and strongholds. He was hit by a machine gun bullet close to his sciatica nerve, and also in the foot, while on Saipan. That is doubtless why he was always squirming in his chair in interviews. Only around 5 or so guys in his unit of about 250 on Saipan even survived the war. My ex-wife's uncle fought with the 27 Infantry division on Saipan and he told me they never, ever took prisoners. Shot them all dead because they did not trust the Japanese to actually surrender. They would emerge from their bunker or fox hole and produce a grenade from don't ask where and take as many GIs as they could with them. Saipan was a terrible place.

I was entering a popular restaurant in Malibu in the early eighties with some family members. Sitting at the bar, drinking a neat Scotch, was Lee Marvin, by himself. He had recently lost his 'Palamony' suite to his ex live-in girlfriend. Lee was one of my hero's from the movies and I was also aware that he had served and fought with the Marine Corps on Iwo Jima during WW2. I wanted so badly to walk up and say hello, shake his hand and tell him how much I admired him, but out of respect for his privacy, I didn't. I don't regret my decision either. Interestingly, as we were seated, my cousin Pat nudged me and nodded towards a table behind us. Sitting there, with his then wife, who was devouring a steak, was Rod Stewart, also nursing a Scotch!

Lee Marvin was not on Iwo Jima. He was in the Marshall Islands and also on Saipan, where he was wounded and eventually released from the Marines in mid-1945 because of his sciatica nerve problems from the machine gun bullet that hit him in his posterior.
