No. 1 son back in States. Praise the Lord. The Best and the Brightest are found where the going is the hardest and deadliest.

[Neoliberalnot]

These fine warriors do us all proud. God bless them, their families, their offspring and their ancestors. I have a young cousin heading to Iraq as an Apache Chopper pilot. This young man has been a star since the day he was born and I know he will continue the tradition.

[Mr. Lucky]

May God bless all those fine young men.

For those who don't already know this;
the "Fighting Fifth" is the most highly decorated infantry battalion in the Marine Corps!

I was stationed there from 1991-1994 and it was called North County (North San Diego County). Carlsbad, Fallbrook, Oceanside, Pendleton etc.

I'm showing my age ... 1969 & 1972-74 Stationed on the north side of Pendleton at Camp Horno 1st Recon. Didn't go south much - just San Clemente and north from there.

Pendleton is located in northern San Diego County. Just south of Orange County.

Hence reference to "north county".
