Retyped from todays Parade magazine (provided with the Sunday paper).
On Thursday the U.S. Postal Service will honor four Marine heroes with stamps.
Lt. Gen. Lewis "Chesty" Puller won five Navy crosses for heroism in action, earning the last one at age 52 in Korea.
Lt Gen. John Lejeune spent 40 years in the Corps and was a World War I hero.
[/B]Sgt. Maj. Dan Daly won the Medal of Honor twice, for two separate acts of heroism.
[B]Gunnery Sgt. John Basilone won the Medal of Honor for three days for fighting on Guadacanal in World War II before dying at Iwo Jima.
The stamps go on sale across the nation on Nov. 10
I'm ordering my set, are you? Link (http://shop.usps.com/cgi-bin/vsbv/postal_store_non_ssl/browse_content/stampReleaseDisplay.jsp?OID=8610)
