Seen through Night Vision Gear, an AV-8B Harrier piloted by Capt. Michael Murphy, Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 214, flies amidst the clouds while refueling from a KC-130 with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 452 in the skies over Fallujah, Iraq, below Nov. 9. Harrier pilots deal with many tasks in the air over the dense urban environment and are required to do them perfectly.

Yuma had an excellent Veteran's day parade yesterday. Notably missing was the USMC contingent. They are "at work" and we are proud of them.

The parade was the kind you don't see much of anymore. Parents and children standing on the sidewalk waving flags. People buying poppies, and parents teaching their children to stand in respect as the flag goes by.

One sad reminder that time marches on was the "Pearl Harbor Survivors". They used to ride in the bed of a GI truck, there were about 20 of them. Now, there are two. If you get a chance to thank a vet or an active duty soldier, do it now.

"Fallujah has been particularly challenging because of the congested airspace," added Hough, who graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 2000. "You have to be able to find the specific target in a dense urban environment, close to Marines, with only a short time that you are allotted in order to enter the target area that you are sharing with other aircraft."
