Another Good Military Blog
The Green Side is mostly made up of

The Bronze Star and promotion are no big deal. Without being falsely modest, I was doing my job and many guys who did as much or more will have gone unrecognized.
The diplomatic efforts ongoing are a necessary part of our overall efforts to stabilize Iraq. You are correct that the corporals and sergeants are none too happy about some of the perceived bureaucracy but at the end of the day we understand that it is part of the democratic effort. Believe me, we will take no chances with our Marines and will be prepared to destroy any threat that surfaces during these patrols.
I got hunch thirty years from now this guy is NOT going to have a
license plate that reads BRNZ STR1. Thanks for your service, and stay safe, Dave!
