green hell Posted August 30, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 30, 2015 Hi All - I wanted to share this sobering photograph with you. A good friend is an officer with the Seventh Marine Regiment (Chesty Puller and John Basilone's outfit on Guadalcanal). At their HQ in 29 Palms, California, they have a memorial to the brave Marines of the 7th who've made the supreme sacrifice in the war on terror. I was struck by the number of dogtags. It seems that we lose sight of the big picture when we learn of it piecemeal, over a protracted period of time. This memorial drives home the cost of the freedoms we take for granted. May God bless these glorious warriors and grant their loved ones closure. I am humbled to live in their shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S. Posted August 30, 2015 Share #2 Posted August 30, 2015 Sobering reminder of the cost of war. During GWOT, many people seemed to forget that Americans are dying for their freedom every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
