Hi! Just found your web site by accident. I'm a science teacher at Globe High School and was trying to find out some facts for my class re Afghanistan. For some reason, my students think it is a big oil producer which I have assured them it is not. Sad to say, some here still get it mixed up with Iraq! We need to learn more geography here in the States! Thank all you Marines for doing a great job for us. My son was recently with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Unit out of Camp Pendelton. His grandfather, my Dad, was was a medic on Iwo Jima with the 4th Marine Division. We love the Marines! You all do a fantastic job in incredibly difficult places. Last Friday, I showed my students a video clip in silence of the recently fallen in Iraq...almost all Marines. Then we stood to say the pledge as we always do every morning. They really paid attention that day! Semper Fi. Sincerely, Virginia Yasin

Dear Chris:
Your website is a great service to those of us who only "stand and wait". It gives us an opportunity to share in the experience of our Marines while they're away.
My son Paul, from MWSS-472, NAS Willow Grove, PA is with you over there and we've had fun looking for him in the photos.
The reach out to the Afghanistan people is heartwarming to see...gotta love the mushy, big hearts that beat inside you tough Marines.
I pray for the safety and well being of all of you and my heart is full of gratitude for your sacrifice and committment. May God bring you all safely home as soon as possible.
Semper Fi,
Marine Mom Beth Ann Boehmler

Just wanted to say cool site, I got the pass work for your camp pictures but it is not working i am not sure if I have it right or not, if you could send me that so I could see the camp pictures that would be great....
I am about to head over there with HMH-769. So I am my wife would like to see where I am going to put her at ease a bit.
So what is the weather like right now what are we going to be arriving in rain or snow?
How is it in the camp? is there an PX I hear there is a subway and a starbucks also a burger king? we sure didn't have any of that in Iraq. Should be a change of pace.

well if you could get me your password for the camp pictures that would be great
I think, I have it right but am not sure if it is lower case or upper case....
But your pass word starts with (Eu...) ends in (...ne) if this is right let me know
Maybe your site is down?

thanks

HAHAHA you guys, don't skip a beat. Anyway have fun watching the game, and Panthers all the way, HAHAHA. You are a trip, deciding to go for the Patriots just because i am for the Panthers, anyway, i love you baby for real.

I want to tell you thank you for
the website that you have provided
which allows us in the rear (families
left behind) to see abit of what
life is like there for all of you.
In some ways it brings great comfort,
in others, it makes me sad. But either way
I am happy to see how things are.
I am extremely proud of each and every one
of you serving for our country and
I am thankful for each and every one of you.
Please pay no mind to people such as 'Mr Freemont'
as only a true Marine would respect the job
that each Marine does, regardless of their MOS.
My husband is an infantry Marine and I thank the Lord
above each day for ALL OF YOU who are there to give the
support that they require to do their mission. This mission,
Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom (and all others)
could NOT be accomplished as well as they have been, without the support
of EACH AND EVERY MARINE. Be proud of yourself, regardless of your MOS,
because you ARE important to the Corps.

May God bless you and all of your fellow Marines and return you home
safely - and soon.

We support you!

Much love and gratitude,
A Proud USMC Wife - of 18 years.

Why do show only the non essential Marines in your photos?
It appears that a whole bunch of you just sit around and stuff.
You should show some real workers not pencil pushers.
Is your unit only combat support?
I know when I was there, we never stayed a BAF. We were always going to Farps/Fobs.
The only people who never saw action were the people in the rear.
Have you seen action? Let me know.

caring, that you all were inundated with "cookies, etc.". I am THRILLED to see another way we can help out. "Cookie-making" helped me to feel as though I was doing

Chris, It is Christmas Eve here in New Orleans and we just came back from Christmas vigil mass. I thought of you and the Troops during mass. I prayed that your Christmas is filled with the Peace and Joy that Mary felt when she gave birth to her first born son, Jesus, Christ. I know it's Christmas day now in Afghanistan and I hope you had fun opening your Christmas gifts. We will miss your presence at dinner tomorrow, but know that you will certainly be in our thoughts. During our Advent prayer before dinner, we will say a special prayer for all of you. Keep Christ in your heart this Christmas and you will do just fine.

Thank you for doing your job preserving our freedom in the US. Please know that the majority of Americans appreciate what you guys are doing for our country. My marine just got out in July and is starting college next month. He didn't make it to the sand but he served his country with pride and honor.
My daughter is a navy corpman in Bethesda attached to the Comfort Hospital ship. She sat in the Persian Gulf for a couple months earlier this year. As a parent, I worried, but as an American, I know what you're doing is vital to our nation's future. Keep up the good work. Have a very Merry Christmas and a hopeful New Year.
