Still crazy (about relief) after all these years
I was in the Pentagon the other day just after I posted the item about Iwo Jima and the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi. One corridor I passed through had displays featuring a list of humanitarian relief missions in which the military had a vital part. I remember many of them, like the Berlin Airlift. The Marines have a long history in this regard. That's why I was happy to see this Op-Ed in the Washington Post on Marines in Haiti. Check out Michael Gerson's item titled America's tenderhearted legions in Haiti.
As always, Semper fi!

Alan -- Yeah, it is a great article and certainly reflects my high regard for the Corps. It was sad to read the hateful and mean-spirited comments which were posted about the article by many of the Post's readers.
