Bones,
Please do me a favor and post the following on Leatherneck:
Marines, family and friends,
I would like to thank all of you that are supporting us during this
current deployment. Our morale is high and we believe in what we are doing.
The hardest part about being out here is that we have no idea when we are
coming home. Instead of making rotation calendars, we continue to X the days
out in the regular manner. I know many of you have loved ones serving out
here and it is hard on you. Again, just know that we are fighting for a just
cause. I was recently on a convoy across the border and we were going
through a small village. Our vehicles had to stop due to some vehicle
troubles. As soon as we stopped we were swarmed by locals. They came running
up to us with Iraqi Dinar, in hopes of trading it for our greenbacks.
Capitalism at its finest. As I watched one little girl, approx 8 yrs old,
break the hearts of all the Marines, she cleaned us out. She left the area
and returned on 3 different occasions with arms full of MREs. It is not what
we do to the Iraqi military that makes us who we are, its what we do for the
Civilians of Iraq that continue to define what type of men and women we are.
Semper Fidelis
