[edit] To be clarified

I've moved this from the article, as it doesn't connect properly as written:

In a final act of giving, Puller became an organ donor, Supervisor Gerald W. Hyland, at the Mount Vernon District. "Yesterday morning, I sat in the waiting room at Washington Hospital Center transplant section," he said. "I saw a sign that read 'In death, there is life. Donate organs.' Lewis Puller donated his organs and was successful in having that occur."

"He was a terribly intelligent person whose pain, apparently, he could not endure any longer," Hyland said. "It's so sad that the conflict in Vietnam has taken another victim. Although Lew Puller has died, he has truly left his mark on America."

History is dis-served by overlooking the membership of Lew Puller Jr. on the Presidential Clemency Board of Gerald Ford - for which Wikipedia presently has no page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.29.213 (talk) 20:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
