The following was sent to me by a friend and I have not varified it.  Want to believe it s true.  If you can varify, please do so below.
 ....................................................................................  
 
 Martin Savidge of CNN, embedded with the 1st Marine battalion, was
 talking with 4 young marines near his foxhole this morning live on CNN.
 He had been telling the story of how well the marines had been looking
 out for and taking care of him since the war started. He went on to
 tell about the many hardships the marines had endured since the war
 began and how they all look after one another.
 
 He turned to the four and said he had cleared it with their commanders and they could use his video phone to call home. The 19 year old marine next to him asked Martin if he would allow his platoon sergeant to use his call to call his pregnant wife back home whom he had not been able to talk to in three months. A stunned Savidge who was visibly moved by the request shook his head and the young marine ran off to get the sergeant.
 
 Savidge recovered after a few seconds and turned back to the three young  marines still sitting with him and asked which one of them would like to call home first, the marine closest to him responded with out a moments hesitation " Sir, if is all the same to you we would like to call the parents of a buddy of ours, Lance Cpl Brian Buesing of Cedar Key, Florida who was killed on 3-23-03 near Nasiriya to see how they are doing" .
 
 At that Martin Savidge totally broke down and was unable to speak. All
 he could get out before signing off was " Where do they get young men
 like this?" .

 " Where do they get young men like this?" .
 

They are all 100% Red Blooded Americans! They come from the seeds of Vietnam, Korea, WWII, WWI, Civil War, and the Revolution. And I am proud of everyone of them. As my parents were of me!

That is true Marines, no matter what they make you stand up and listen and the persona(?) demands that you respect them.  They are true to heart and love for their fellow men and women.
 
 UHHH RAHHHHH!!!!!
