The late afternoon sun blazed across the Arizona sky above the Yuma Marine Corps Air Station. “We swore an oath,” Sergeant Kayla Bennington said. Cocoa brown skin enveloped her.

Marine Corps Stories: E-tool

Staff sergeants, all the way up to Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps and officers, are the kidneys, liver, lungs, heart, skin, central nervous system, and brains of the body,” Sergeant Jemsen Gerow said.

Ghosts Of Iraq
My story starts at the beginning, not just the beginning of this story but the beginning of the war in Iraq. I was serving as a Royal Marine and like many in 2003 we found our selves lining up on the boarders of Iraq. This wasn't my first rodeo, I had served in Sierra Leon and Afghanistan prior to this, and if i'm truly honest I was looking forward to getting back into the action, after-all its what I had trained to do and you do kind of miss operational tours.

Semper Fi Ooh ra
This is my son Estevan, one of my many favorites pictures that really shows the intigrity of his heart. Every since I can remember my son has always looked up to service workers in uniform with reverance esp. the Marines, he hoped one day he would be a special part of this honorable calling to serve his country and possibly make his absent father proud, later he learned his deceased grandfather he never met was also a Marine and later went to become District Judge in Boyal Cty Ky.
