Last week cannons at Kaneohe Ma rine Air Station on Hawaii thundered a 15-gun farewell to the Brute, now 55, who was calling it quits after 34 years.

Watching were Krulak's three sons-a Navy chaplain and two Marine officers who have all served in Viet Nam. Between them, the Krulaks have won 49 medals...
