The tragedy on January 12, 2010 was far away, but it’s the biggest tragedy on this hemisphere in a long, long time. As usually happens when world disaster strikes, the United States (and some other nations) sprung into action, making sure the people of Haiti (though they may be poor) have what they need to [...]

A Marine tradition continues this year, and I’m asking you to take part. Toys for Tots began in 1947. Major Bill Hendricks (USCR) and a group of Marine Reservists in Los Angeles collected and distributed 5,000 toys to needy children in the area. The original idea was said to come from Bill’s wife, Diane. The [...]

Service members from Marine Expeditionary Brigade-Afghanistan recently put the US resolve to the test, doing their duty. “Afghanistan can be extremely dangerous and unpredictable,” said Maj. Tom Clinton, [...]

Well, since I’ve started posting more pictures and videos, one thing is really apparent – people like Star Trek! The b-roll I put on the You Tube is the most popular of all the video I’ve posted from the DOD. In fact, one of them is more popular than most of the other videos combined! [...]

While it’s a noble and brave thing to decide to serve your country in the military, there are a lot of men and women who are re-enlisting to continue to serve their country. While the media corporations concentrate on every little thing, they overlook the fact that a lot of young men and women are [...]

While things heat up with combat in Afghanistan, there’s a different set of goals being reached in Iraq. All over the country, the coalition (primarily US troops) are helping Iraqi men (and women) to build the cornerstones of what is sure to become a powerhouse country in the region. As violence in Iraq settles down, [...]
