2/2 Marines Update

USN news reporter PO Sean Galloway reports that morale among the Marines is good despite conflict. LtCol Giles Kyser, CO of 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, commented:

"I really wish each and every one of you had the opportunity to watch what these young men do here every single day. To walk in the shadow of greatness. That may sound corny, but that's what it is. Even when these Marines are wounded, their first question to me is 'Hey sir, how's my buddy?' And then they tell me, 'Hey, this isn't going to slow me down, sir, I'll be back in the fight.' That's the kind of young men they are. It's absolutely amazing."
