I apologize if this is a re-post, but I need to express my utmost respect to the guys who get it done better than any other fighing force in the world. The below text is from the VOA. Godspeed Marine.
"Since the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, more than 190,000 men and women have joined the Marine Corps.
Among them was Corporal Jason Dunham, who was killed outside the Iraqi town of Karabilah in 2004, when officials say he threw himself on an enemy grenade to protect his fellow Marines.
President Bush awarded the nation's highest decoration for valor to Dunham's parents as part of a ceremony marking the opening of a national Marine Corps museum.
He said, "As long as we have Marines like Corporal Dunham, America will never fear for her liberty. And as long as we have this fine museum, America will never forget their sacrifice."
