Message from Iraq

The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute to our fallen comrades.
So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we
could think of doing that is By taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel.
It would be awesome if you could find a way to share this with our fellow countrymen.
I was wondering if there was any way to get this into your papers to let the world know that
"WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN" and are proud to serve our country."
Semper Fi
1st Sgt Dave Jobe
