Leavenworth, rendezvoused with the rest of the journalists present for the training, attended meetings, snagged some dinner during one meeting and had a quick historical tour.

follow It’s been several years ago now, but I was on post at Camp Lejeune, the Marine base in North Carolina, for a day job project. What struck me was how terribly YOUNG everyone was. It’s heartbreaking.

go here Chris, there are a lot of young men and women in the military, certainly. But I’ve been struck by how proud these men and women are of their service, of their comradeship and their mission. It’s very heartening to see, very inspiring.
