Major Kurt Chew-Een Lee, Marine Corps hero and the Corps' first Chinese-American regular officer, passed away in his Washington, D.C. home on March 3, 2014. He was 88 years old. Major Lee's last public appearance was as Honorary Grand Marshal of the 2014 San Francisco Chinese New Year...
Read MoreMajor Lee became a family friend to the Lupacchini family because of his endearing relationship with Pfc. Attilio Lupacchini (Lee´s personal "bodyguard") in NKorea. Lee saved a lot of Marines at the Chosin Reservoir in Dec. 1950. He deserved the Medal of Honor for his bravery and leadership.

The nephew of PFC. Attilio Lupacchini (KIA Chosin) B-1-7 sends his respect to the family. Attilio was Lt. Lee's "bodyguard" in North Korea. Semper Fi Marine!
