Photo #25456
This is not my photo. My host Marine battalion gave this to me. The local Marines here organized a charity clothing drive in the States for children here in the Al Anbar Province in Iraq. In the winter here (which is as cold as many parts of the USA), some local children have inadequate shoes and coats. Here, a Marine is sizing two girls for new shoes and coats. This is a picture you'll never see in the New York Times. Furthermore, this picture was taken just a few days after my host battalion suffered a deadly attack in the same area. Shame on anyone who thinks the Marines are a destructive, unwelcome, "Kill-em-All" presence here. This photo was taken on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 and added to the web on Thursday, January 15, 2009.
