'Full Metal Jacket' Star R. Lee Ermey Buried with Honors at Arlington National Cemetery

R. Lee Ermey was laid to rest Friday with military honors in a ceremony that included a gun salute and presentation of the American flag.

The accomplished actor and veteran was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The service included a firing party, folding and presentation of the American flag, and a bugle player.

The 'Full Metal Jacket' star, who died last April of complications from pneumonia, was cremated and his remains buried at the famous cemetery.

Ermey served more than 11 years in the Marines, including a tour in Vietnam before he was medically discharged as a staff sergeant.

R.I.P., Gunny.

Only ever heard good things about that man.

I liked him, thank you for your service in so many ways, I figure.

Fitting place, RIP Gunny!

A great representation of a man's man. Adam Carolla did a long interview with him that really had some deep stuff. How he got into film and his involvement with an Asian brothel. Funny guy.
