Road that plays Marines’ Hymn to be named after veteran and actor R. Lee Ermey

If you one day hear the Marines’ Hymn while driving between Agena Road and Sierra Highway in Palmdale, Calif., do not fret; your ears are not having a “major malfunction.â€
That section of road — known as Avenue N — will be named for acclaimed actor and Marine Corps veteran R. Lee Ermey during a ceremony on Nov. 10, the Marine Corps’ birthday, according to a fundraising page linked to Ermey’s family, friends and supporters.
Ermey lived just off Avenue N for the past 24 years, until his death in April at age 74, the GoFundMe page said. Efforts to rename the road after him began in May and have since been unanimously approved by the cities of Palmdale and Lancaster, Los Angeles County and the California Department of Transportation.
