Another fallen American Hero (Marine) who probably won't be Honored
I came across this tragic series of photos tonight, at the Operation Truth .org web site, and I just thought this nameless Marine, who died trying to save his fellow Marine (while still under fire) deserved the respect that our so-called President will most likely not show him. I can't even begin to tell you how much I despise *, and the fact that he's yet to attended a single Military funeral from this STUPID, Pointless War he started!:mad:

Also, this website has more pictures, Television PSA's and Commercials, as well as comments from those who have been there. Check it out at this link: <http://www.optruth.org//main.cfm>

Note: Most of the photos at this site are taken by the solders who are/were there. These are Courtesy of: Steve Robinson, I don't know who he is.:patriot: :cry: :grouphug:

I didn't want to use too much of Operation Truths bandwidth, so these are just the thumbnails, to see the photos larger, click this link, then click on the thumbnails: <http://www.optruth.org/main.cfm?actionId=globalShowStaticContent&screenKey=cmpPhoto&lnav=1>

<>
During hostile action in Iraq, a Marine is hit and wounded and this brave Marine comes to his aid while taking hostile fire.

<>
A second Marine comes to the rescue and is struck by an enemy round.

<>
In the attempt to evacuate the wounded Marine, the Marine to the left is fatally struck again by enemy fire and falls to the ground.

<>
This sad photo shows two of our brave brothers lying motionless on the ground. The Marine on the right will survive, but sadly the Marine on the left who came to rescue his fellow Marine would not survive.

2. That made me want to cry
But the tears won't come... all I feel is this hollow sadness, and a mix of sorrow and fury.

5. I know exactly how you feel.
I grew up, alway hearing, "We don't want to get involved in another Vietnam," and here we are, 30 years later, with so-called leaders, who never learned this lesson.

Edited on Sun May-01-05 04:45 AM by blogbear
numb to all the pain, suffering, and abuse.. I wonder if it is that people must be personally affected by horrid events before their eyes open and they start to care?

7. Hey Andy, how ya feeling? Your health any better?
Not to get too far off subject, I don't know if you're still into the subject, but I found another website with big Jeff Gannon and Washington Call boys sections, links below.
<http://www.nogw.com/dark_history.html#bushpedo>

<http://www.nogw.com/mediamind.html#gannon>

Also, I recently went to Propagannon .com and was greeted with message that implied their website had been under attack by hackers, and had to make some security upgrades to protect their data.

Just thought I'd pass that on to you.

Peace :hippie:

9. So TRAGIC & sad watching them die because of Bush & Cheney's phoney
war for oil & corporate contracts in the name of something that never existed. It's absolutely GUT WRENCHING.

The sad follow-up to incidents like this will be that assholes like Rumsfeld will use this to fuel even more killing and hatred towards the "enemy", just to keep this pathetic war going and going, while more of out young people die along the way. :(

13. Oh, this is so sad
Just hearing about all the deaths of the troops and Iraqis is depressing but sometimes doesn't seem real, but when you see a series of photographs like these it makes it real. It seems all the more tragic because he was trying to help his friend.

:cry:
