Marine Bravery
Here is a story and pictures of some Marines in Iraq trying to rescue a fellow Marine at a high price:
Pic#1: During hostile action in Iraq, a Marine is hit and wounded and this brave Marine comes to his aid while taking hostile fire.
Pic#2: A second Marine comes to the rescue and is struck by an enemy round.
Pic #3: In the attempt to evacuate the wounded Marine, the Marine to the left is fatally struck again by enemy fire and falls to the ground.
Pic #4: This sad photo shows two of our brave brothers lying motionless on the ground. The Marine on the right will survive, but sadly the Marine on the left who came to rescue his fellow Marine would not survive
These are the images you will not see on CNN, but as hard as they may be to look at, it is important to see them as Marines to honor them, and to be filled with a sense of honor and respect for those brave men who have fallen and for those who would unselfishly risk their own lives for their fellow Marines.

These are brave men, thank you to all service men fighting and giving their lives on the front lines so the rest of the world can taste a little freedom. Thank you.

May God bless all of our Military everywhere. You're right, these pictures are difficult to view, but they must be. No one must ever forget the sacrifices being made every day by the brave Men and Women of our Armed Forces.

Oohrah, Marines.
You did your duty and gave your last full measure for your brothers. We can ask no more from our warriors.
RIP.
