What a damn fine soldier. His parents must be proud as his community I am sure is proud of this selfless Marine doing his job so that the rest of us are free to enjoy doing our jobs in the United States of America!!

[Outraged]

I do not know how to smallify it...:)

[Former Military Chick]

Neither did I and what you posted was what I had questioned but hey lets just say he deserves to have the bigest badest photo posted on Free Republic.

Thanks.

Bronze Star with a combat ‘V’ for valorous action **PING**

Ditto to that! I checked out the picture, and thought: This brave young man will go home, put his medals and citations in a drawer, marry his sweetie, raise a family, and never, ever brag about his courage and honor in the War on Terror, despite the fact he has every right to do so. So unlike fool Kerry.

[Outraged]

No argument from me...:)

Protect our boys Father

[Grim]

Might fine shooting.

“I was concerned about my Marines making it out of there in one piece,” said Reichert. “And at the same time I was loving life. I was outside of the gunmen’s range, but they were within my weapon’s range. I guess I could compare it to shooting ducks in a barrel.”

I'm concerned that this Marine might have actually enjoyed shooting the enemy. Who does he think he is, Gen. Mattis? ;^)

Spittin' image of his dad: hairline, eyes, nose, mouth.

Semper Fi, Marine!

Great shooting, one shot-one kill is good, one shot-three down and out is great! This man is a Hero and deserves the accolades of all.

25 years old? I don't think this is the right guy!

[Chieftain]

What a damn fine soldier.

I know your intentions are honorable, and there are some damn fine soldiers in the US Army, but he has earned his title and deserves to be recognized as such. He is a damn fine Marine.

Oooorrraaaahhhh!!

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

My thoughts too...25? What's with the gray hair?

[OXENinFLA]

PING...

[Chieftain]

The guy on the left has gray hair, not the Marine on the right!

[Onyxx]

One shot. One Kill. Aye, aye!
