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.
Ill send you some pics from 2001.

on who is making a difference right now.

All the Marines I keep in touch with (0ver 300)

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
something positive, but helping the children is the best idea of all!! I am looking forward to gathering together some of the items on the list. Thank you for your ideas, and your

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.

I think what you've done here is a great thing. I am a Marine myself, not on duty anymore though. I work for UPS now. The pictures you've posted have brought back so many memories, you can't begin to imagine.
I got this link from a friend at work, whose brother is over there now along with all you brave troopers. I was in the same situation you guys are in now, back in 91' in Saudi and in 93' in Somalia. I still go over some of the pictures I took from time to time.
I wish someone would have done what you've done here back then. You don't know how much this means to all the families who are able to see you guys. I passed around your link to some co-workers and they were all impressed.
Everyone gave great feedback about your link. I hope they wrote to back to you personally. They are always impressed with my stories. It's great for them to see actual pictures of what I've went through in some way.
As a request, post some pictures of the lines for the showers...this is something a lot of civilians don't realize what we go through just to get a 1-3 minute shower!
Again, keep up the good work and you can count this old Marine browsing your website now and then.
Take care and look out for one another.....SEMPER FI

Lcpl Broudy,
Semper Fi fellow Marine!
First of all, your fellow former active Marines support the outstanding job you and your fellow Marines are doing. I know what you are going through, I'm a conbat Marine from Vietnam (an old war dog now). I can tell you and your fellow Marines that EVERYONE here in the real wrold supports you and we all prey for your safety daily. I'n sure that the Corps is getting your beans and bullets to you, if you need anything, just email me and I'll complete my given mission. Remember, DOD will not let me mail a "round eye" to you guys, you'll have to get the girls when you get back home.

I want to thank you for dedicating your life to protecting our country. In my eyes you and everyone in the military are heros. I am very happy to say that my son left for Parris Island the end of October. He will graduate on Jan. 23, 2004. I could not be more proud. I also have a nephew who has been in the Marines for seven years and he is planning on making a career of it. Thank you for the pictures, it gives us civilians a small glimpse of what your life is like over there. God bless you and all the men and women serving in our armed forces.

Dear Marine,
I found your site on Sgt Grit. And I just wanted
to say keep up the good work.
My son is also a Marine. He just got home from Iraq.
He is to go back after the new year. He was to stay home for good back in Nov. but that all has changed.
keep your head up and your pride going.
Here at my house the corps flag and the American flag still are up
and won't come down tell each servicemen and woman are home.

My heart goes out to you all. The suffering and pain is temporary.
My personal battle was against the hippie movement in this country
at the time I was in and now those same hippies
are running the country. Maybe, soon
they will phase out before it is too late
for this beautiful nation.
God bless you and your willingness to be one of
the great men in the greatest fighting force in the world.
A group of us still get together every three
years. I am glad we stayed in touch.
You may want to stay in touch with those
you laid it on the line with. There is
something very special about that.

GREAT SITE!

Especially enjoyed the pix of your Birthday Ball.
Are those Japanese Marines I see in those pictures?
That's outstanding!

Although I'm an 0311 Purple Heart recipient & a Vietnam Vet, it wasn't until 8 November of this year that I attended my first Birthday Ball.
It was a very classy event run by the Marine Corps League and held at a country club.
Everyone wore tuxedos and miniature medals, except for me - I was in my Blues with full size medals.
We had an OUTSTANDING time!

Keep up the good work!

Hey Devil this is a great thing you have here. As a Marine myself I just wanted to say keep doing it the Marine Coprs way and you will be home safely in no time at all. I am a vet and had combat experience on two different times. Just remember you training,keep you head in the game, God in your heart and everything will be all right. There is still a big part of me that wants to be a part of the Corps but my time has passed and now the fight is yours and that of the Marines there with you. Take care and watch out for the Marine next to you as I am sure he is doing for you. Semper Fi

I now fit the bumper sticker , not as lean, not as mean, but still a Marine. I have several friends who are on active duty and getting ready to head back to Iraq in March to straighten that thing out. He said they were going back in to the same places they turned over to the Army when they left. And you guys in Afganastan what a job that was. Thanks again for being in the front ranks of our freedoms. We pray for your succes and protection.

Semper Fi to all! I enlisted in 1980 when the hostages were taken in Iran.
Though we never got to go in and save them, I was an honor to serve and I
got the opportunity to meet President Reagan and to welcome the hostages
home. Shortly after 9/11, my son, then 17, asked permission to join the
Army National Guard. I feared for his safety but saw the committment in his eyes.
USMC does not have a split enlistment program like he got in the Army, so I gave him
my blessing and signed his papers.
To all those serving this great Nation, I extend my deepest thanks. I am as
proud of each of you as I am of my own son and I pray for your safe return to your
family and loved ones.
Thank you for your sacrifices, your patriotism and your dedication to keeping every
American safe.
And when you face down Osama, Saddam or any of the despicable creatures who try to
control through terrorism, give them your best Marine Corps Ooo-RAH! and send their
dirty asses to HELL!

Lcpl Boudy, My name is Shawn Levy from New Orleans.
I saw the link to your site on Sgt Grit's newsletter.
I think this is a great thing you've done. I read
that you started this for your family to keep in
touch with you, and you have done just that for your
blood family, and you other family - Marines.

I was the S-2 with 3/23 81-89, and often flew
with you guys to such wonderful places as Ft Polk,
Camp Shelby, and dozens of places nothing more than
a spot on the map. The unit then was HML-767.
You guys are doing a great job over there.
Stay safe, stay alert, and watch each other's backs.

Now that all the sappy shit is out of the way, I was looking throught the "day off" photos and happen to
see a Mr. Bobby "Q" Vorhoff in one of them. Is he still flying in the pink helo? Christ, they'll let anybody
in country these days. I didn't know we were that hard up. Well, I guess it's a good thing to let WM's like
him in a combat zone! What rank is he now, a friggin 20 star general? I guess it's not who you know, buy who
ya' blow!! Seriously, watch him! Don't fall for the drop the soap gag!

Lcpl Boudy, do me a BIG favor, please give him my email address and have him email me. He and I go way back.
Ask him to tell you some of the stories sometimes.
I'm going to mail him a blow up fuck doll like he sent to me when I was in boot camp.

I hope he doesn't think I forgot that shit!

Hey Chris,

Lesley asked me why I hadn't signed the guestbook when I saw the pictures before. The truth is I didn't know that I was supposed to. These pictures are awesome and they give us all a connection to you while you are away from us. I am so glad that you are so talented. I am also very proud of you. Many people do not have this connection and you give this connection to many through this gift. Love you and remember at this time of year with the holiday buzz in the air, that you are with us no matter where you are physically. I wish you were here so that you could hear all the fussing that I do. Smile! I'm sure you missed even that. Love you again!

Just to let others know, my son Chris, the Web-designer, is a 20 year old college student and of course a Reservist in the Marine Corp.Since he was about 11 years old, he was onte of those computer whiz kids. He has been doing websites since he was about 17 years old and has done a wonderful job. I am so proud that he is using his talent and love for websites to share with people all across this nation. I told Chris that we didnt understand why his Unit was chosen, but now I know. Chris was sent as the "Messenger", to bring love, peace and happiness to so many.
I love you dearly Chris,

Scott Meehan is my one of my best friend's husband.
His wife, Tara, and I talk frequently about
how much she misses him and pray for his safe return.
She sent our group of friends your link to see
pictures of him - seeing him surrounded by sand definitely
makes his absence seem more real.
I work at DoD TRICARE Management Activity headquarters
in Falls Church, VA. I see and hear many stories
of soliders overseas - the good and the bad.
Just wanted to drop you a note to tell your company, specifically Scott Meehan,
that Tara, myself, and all of our girlfriends support you and
wish you safe passage home!

I was eager to see if there was a

to see a picture of Kory, though.
It's great to see familiar faces

Thank you so much. I've been so worried about our boys in Afghanistan. Capt Scott Meehan is my cousin, but more like my brother. I've been so stressed thinking about him. Seeing him in photos, proof that he's OK, will help me sleep better at night. Scotty, if you get this, know that your favorite SD beverage is on its way out to you for X-mas. Hope it gets there in time. A little piece of your old home to enjoy in the desert. I love you, miss you and can't wait for your safe return.
