Great Marine doing Great things. God Bless Him.

Thank you MSM for telling us daily how we are losing this war. Your truth gives us all the strength we need(too turn the channel).
Can't wait for Rather to tell us his version of the story of this guy and really scrub it clean.

Kind of reminds me of the Purple Heart, Silver Star and Bronze Star citations of John Kerry. NOT!

This corporal is a true soldier and deserves the admiration of everyone. His family has to be extremely proud of him, and rightly so.

Marine Cpl. Lonnie Young waged the battle of his life in Iraq on April 4:
Trapped on a rooftop with a handful of other men, he helped to face down hundreds of Iraqi insurgents attacking from all directions.

The insurgents had machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades, and a sniper shooting out the window of a local hospital.

Probably the same hospital that claims that all the wounded are either women or children.

Awesome story. One helluva tough Marine & Kentuckian. Both of those groups have people of incredible courage and heart.

Have you ever wondered what the term "warrior" meant?
This kid is the real deal....

At the core -- it's still the Corps.

Cpl. Lonnie Young kneels next to his wounded comrade in high spirits, despite the fact there is a bullet lodged in his back. Young, a Defense Messaging System administrator by trade, learned first-hand that every Marine is a rifleman when the base he was working on in An Najaf, Iraq came under attack by approximately 800 anti-coalition militiamen, April 4, 2004. Young fought alongside seven Blackwater Security personnel in an effort to secure the base. Photo by: Courtesy Photo PhotoID: 200491693312
