MUST SEE video of Sec.Def. Gates speaking at the Marine Corps Association dinner this week .. he breaks down, very emotionally describing the heroism and gallantry of Capt. Doug Zembiec (promoted to Major posthumously), the Lion of Fallujah. It’s very moving.

His whole speech is on the left just under the Pentagon Channel logo ... it’s VERY worthwhile to hear his inside the beltway/political slamming, and most especially: his assessment of the scope and nature of this WOT.

Rest in peace, brave warrior. God bless and protect our awesome troops!
