I thought this was interesting and I wasn't sure what forum to post it in.

The Marine in this feature was Malcolm Keep. Sadly he passed away this week. Malcolm was forever captured in a famous photo from Iwo Jima assisting a gravely wounded comrade. The attached photo show's Mr. Keep assisting a wounded comrade on Iwo. God speed Mr. Keep and Semper Fi.

Frank - thank you for posting this, as I would have otherwise not come across it.

 

For all of the nonsense and poor representation coming out of the NBA, this is a very good story.

I agree. Never cared much for basketball myself, I'll be a Grizzlies fan, I reckon.
