A Marine Greets His Friends Home....

Here is an Iraq War Veteran hugging his friends when they all returned after their service in Iraq. More than 20 had died just in this Battalion, The 3/25 of Brookpark, Ohio. Although Daniel had cruches and was recovering from an attack when in Iraq with his friends, he still put on his fatigues and welcomed the ones he left behind who are now home.... This is the 3rd Battalion, 25 Marine Regiment, 4th Division of the United States Marine Corps. Brookpark, Ohio. Please do not copy this photo as it is copyrighted and belongs to the men and women who served in our armed forces.... MESSAGE TO MY FRIENDS AT 3/25: Although my service is done and my training is over for sometime now at 3/25. I will never forget the times you made me laugh, the encouragement that you gave me to push on, and all the drinks you bought me to get me wasted! Thanks guys! LOL! SEMPER FIDELIS! I LOVE YOU MY DEAREST FRIENDS, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow and til the end! Love & SEMPER FI, Annamaria
