Who are our soldiers, really?

This is what people think of when you say American soldiers in Iraq:

But these guys are really the face of American soldiers in Iraq:

First Lieutenant Joshua R. Rosales (USMC), Seaman Royce R. Ross (USN), and Corporal Jared S. Nelson (USMC) came to the aid of a seven-year-old Iraqi girl who fell from a three-story building in Gharmah, Iraq. (Photo by Gunnery Sergeant Mark Olivia, USMC)

These are the stories you won't see reported by the MSM; too bad, because a "Marines help little girl" human interest story would be nice right about now...
For my Marine buddies Tex, Gunny, and Rich, and my late 'uncle' Kit (and Lee Ermy, just because): Oohrah!
