Tell him that if surrendering Iraqi so much as blink without permission, to blow the bastards to hell, and save himself and his fellow Marines.

Dan Morris- I'm in the same boat; received e-mail from a best friend, best man at my wedding, a man I grew up with- he’s in the Marines; 1st MEU, 3rd Brigade. Said he was in heavy engagement outside Nasiriya and was moving towards Al Kut to hold for reinforcements.

I have no idea how he got this e-mail out.

I knew he was there; knew what his unit was; but didn’t know exactly where he was or what his situation was. And I have to tell you I’m scared to death for him. I know he’s a Marine. He’s with his fellow Marines. He’s well trained and equipped.

But damn it all. He’s my friend and I’m worried

I don't pray much usually- but I'm starting now.

prayers for them all.
