"Boots, rifle, dog tags, and kevlar helmet stand in solitude to honor Cpl. Orville Gerena, Lance Cpl. David Parr, and PFC Jacob Spann during a sevice held by Battalion Landing Team 1st Bn., 2nd Marines, the ground combat element of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), at Al Asad Air Base, Iraq Feb. 18, 2006. The three Charlie Company Marines were killed conducting counterinsurgency operations in Iraq's Al Anbar province." - 22nd MEU Operation/Exercise/Event: Operation Iraqi Freedom

Well seeing that this is my first deviation... It's not much of a deviation. I saw these photos at [link] and I was motivated. I am a United States Marine and I am proud. I get angry, upset, sad, whatever when I see or read stories like this. I'm sure not everyone is behind the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan but it's what I believe in and that's all that matters I guess. Everyone is open to their own opinion and this is mine.

Your work is gorgeous. I'm a fav whore, this is true, but I genuinely only fav things I like and things that are beautiful, meaningful, gorgeous, smexy, and/or simply unique. :)

RIP brothers.

I'm getting a memorial tattoo soon of the kevlar with the rifle, dog tags and boots.
