#1 I agree with your comments, Steve, but I would also add "what a great lady!" Her husband has been deployed to Iraq 3 times in two wars and was badly wounded only days ago, yet she says that "she hopes her husband can continue in the service."

#2 My sincerest thanks and deepest respects to this fine NCO.

Here is a link to the photo from last year (link function at RB is not working): http://bushsupporter.org/war/09slide6.jpg

I think I saw the newsreel footage of this crewman coming out of the hatch of his tank, near a railway or highway embankment - bleeding from a head wound.

Here's hoping the maggots in Falujah pay 10,000 times the price that this Leatherneck paid.

#4 L.R., Yup, I saw the footage of the Gunny crawling out of the turret on Fox News.

Hang in there, Marine.
