Loved this picture and had to share. A couple of O-W-H reporters and photographers are spending time in Iraq embedded with deployed Nebraska units. God Bless these warriors and this Marine.

Surprised (and happy) to see that the NG soldiers have our most current filed gear.

A pleasant change from not very long ago when NG was treated like a step-child when it came to uniforms and equipment.

OOOOOoooohhhhhh RRRrrrrraaahhhhh. Don't it make you proud to be an American?

Semper Fi to all Marines and to the rest of the service men and women serving their country.

The U.S. Marine Corps has always impressed this flyboy with their "can do" spirit. Once again America's finest defy the cowardly Islamic Fascist Jihad in their attempts to enslave all of humanity. I once again stand humbled and grateful for their sacrifices on our behalf.

That is encouraging. Hopefully our contingent of elected representatives will continue to fight for funding and properly equipping these heroes.

What will be discouraging is when our small but vocal collection of peaceniks start to write their letters to the editor decrying the fact that we have a picture of a Marine making an obscene jesture on the front page of our newspaper.

I think this would make a great poster/picture to display as a counter-protest at the next "Nebraskans for Peace" rally.

I am proud of this Marine, Sgt. Burghardt.
