Damn, they make me proud. Six off-duty Marines doing what they were trained to do. Exercising their personal fortitude, courage and good service as human beings of their great nation by risking their own lives to save others.
They didn’t ask who they voted for, look at their race, care about their religion or anything else. They say people’s live at risk and they rushed in to save them. It is acts like this that remind my why I love living in the greatest country on this planet, with the greatest military in the world.

This site, http://afghanistan.alltop.com/ has a page dedicated to news about Afghanistan. This site is run by Guy Kawasaki, whom I met at the milblog conference. Guy was one of the founders at Apple and is now a private venture capitalist. Even with the success he has had, he still wants to help bring to light, issues and causes. One of those are the everyday happenings in Afghanistan. This is why you will see this blog profiled on there also.
