R. Lee Ermey Finds Cash On Montana Street

Actor R. Lee Ermey is living up to the Marine Corps' mantra: "A Few Good Men."

The former Marine drill instructor and host of The History Channel's "Mail Call" was in Missoula on Monday to film a segment for his upcoming series, "Locked and Loaded," when he said he found some cash. A lot of cash.

Ermey, best known for playing the drill instructor in Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket," said he was driving with crew member Harlan Glenn to a museum when he spotted a black object on the road.

Ermey stopped the car and picked up the bag, which contained cash and checks that looked like they were meant for deposit in a Native American fund.

"Just on one deposit slip alone was, like, $3,700, and another one for $2,800," Glenn said. "There was easily $8,000 in cash and the rest in checks."

Ermey told the Missoulian newspaper he thought: "Some poor guy right now is probably getting fired, probably having the worst day of his life. So what we did was we went right down to the Wells Fargo bank and deposited it for him."

Don Luke, a business expert at the Wells Fargo branch, said he was surprised to see "The Gunny" stroll in.

"We weren't sure if it wasn't 'Candid Camera,'" Luke said.

The Gunny is good people. reminds me of my Grandad. Spitting image and Korean Vet. the two are a lot alike. its nice to hear about famous people actually doing something GOOD but i think thats just the way the gunny was made.

I wonder what would have happened to the money if any number of our Congresscritters found the money. Obama would probably give it to the car companies.

We could use more people who are 'always faithful' in DC.

Beetle,

If a congresscritter found that cash, it would have gone to: hookers, expensive dinner, and a free vacation.
