Saw a special on the flag-raising today and thought I'd post this site:

The mot important thing in my life is/was becoming a Marine. Even today as a Navy SNFO, I'm still a Marine in a different uniform. To all of you guys striving to become a Marine, take the story of the Flagraisers to heart. These were guys that loved each other, fought beside each other, and remembered each other every day for the rest of their lives; and that is the strength of the Corps.
Semper Fi!
