"I'd trade that medal for a chance to go back there."
Overcome.
Semper Fi MARINE!

I bought that young man a lotta beers at the Lancaster Post 311 American Legion 5 days before he went back to Iraq. He and his best friend (a Marine Reserve from Oklahoma ) were there waiting for his girlfriend to get off work at Edwards
He impressed me that night as a hell of a Marine. I'm more impressed now. His friend had travelled from Oklahoma to see him before he went back for his second tour. On his first tour, he'd been a scout in an L.A.V. platoon that went into Bagdad.
