When a Marine Corps colonel retires, especially a senior colonel who is a decorated combat veteran, there is a parade and a ceremony where he is presented with a Legion of Merit. His wife is given a large bouquet and there is a letter from the commandant thanking the colonel for his years of meritorious service. Wyly got none of these. He drove out the front gate of Quantico unnoticed. But then, guerrillas do not march home to victory parades.
