You've GOT to go to the actual site to see the "We Remember" photo. I was teary-eyed looking at it.

Thank God we have men like these.

Love that photo. Reminds me that nothing is more like war than living in serious mud, cold mud, for weeks. Reminds me of when I was young!

I have a couple friends with notable Iraq experience, one a 22 year old West Point regular and the other a 45 year old reconnaissance specialist in the Reserves. Both very excellent men. My respect for the good men in the Services is very high. So don't get me wrong.

The Marine Corps has the highest fraction of very good men of all of the Services, in my never humble opinion. Perhaps my affection for the Corps dates back to Viet Nam days. Well, so be it.
