One Badass Marine
This Marine motivates me. Notice the handicap patch, he's a Warrior.
Back to work: hand amputee deploys to set example for wounded warriors
"The word came out that noncommissioned officers were needed as combat replacements," said combat replacement for 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, Sgt. Ricardo Ramirez. "Guys with experience who wanted to help out our brothers in Sangin."
Ramirez, a veteran of Iraq, fit the description, answered the call and volunteered to deploy to Afghanistan. His previous combat experience shows right off the bat, and is one of the first things people notice about the warrior.
He only has one hand.
"A man or a Marine should not be measured by how they look, what they are missing or what they don't have," said Ramirez, from Quebrallas, Puerto Rico.
Marines should be measured by experience, their work ethic, how they carry themselves and, of course how they lead their Marines.
That is what everyone should be looking at.
