thanks mike and oprano! This is the first thread I've ever got pinned on any board and I can't think of a better one to my first

thank you pattyecake, your always there. love ya

PD, I agree, I met just a few SB's good guys, I did have a heck of a medic(navyboy

in my squad, great guy who we all trusted with our lifes, in battle or in town

again, thanks and here's another story of "our" brothers over there,
-------------------
MARINE SERGEANT KENNETH CONDE is one tough SOB:

...Conde, McKenzie and Cox kept searching for the enemy. They exposed themselves to fire because it was the only way they could get a good look at enemy's firing positions. As they pushed forward, Conde was able to take out two shooters, but then things took a turn for the worse.
"I was running, and I watched as I got shot in the left shoulder," Conde said. "I remember seeing a red mist coming from my back."

Even though he saw himself get shot, it didn't occur to Conde to quit fighting. "I didn't really realize I had been shot until one of the Marines said something," he added.

According to McKenzie, Conde fired several shots, killing a combatant, before falling to the ground. He then managed to get back to his feet and fire a few more rounds at the enemy before falling again.

"We helped him up so he could get to the corpsman to get bandaged up," McKenzie, a 22 year old from Bonaqua, Tenn. "We made sure to kill the guys who shot him."

The corpsman treated Conde, who only wanted to get his gear and get back to the fight. Conde's Marines were out there and he knew his place was alongside them.

--------------------------------------

BTW, anyone see the video they are showing on all the news shows today? The marines in a firefight and one of the guys was bleeding on the left arm but still laying down fire.
I think the one in the above story is the same guy
