On Thanksgiving Day, Marines of the First Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion are rooting out local thugs, smugglers and foreign thugs on patrol along the porous Syrian border. Back at the CP they celebrate the day eating the traditional fare of turkey w/all the trimmings and looking forward to the day they too will be holding point on the couch in front of the TV watching Dallas and Denver go head to head into overtime.
Marine Corporal Brian Zwart of Fruitport, Michigan, said, "Serving my country is important but losing friends makes me more thankful for what I have and for what I used to take for granted.''
Lance Corporal Kyle Maxwell, a 21-year-old from Petaluma, California, said yes he could be sitting on a couch back home watching football with his dad. Right now he has an important mission at hand driving an LAV-25 war pig loaded with a reception committee of LAR Marines and an unforgiving 25 mm chain gun loaded for thuggies keeping America safe.
The Nation owes a great debt of gratitude and thanks for all Marines near and far. OOORAH!
