"Living on the edge: Welcome to our world"
Bucks County Courier Times
September 28, 2006

"...And what do the families of the 165,000 deployed Marines and soldiers do every day? We follow the news 24/7; we know Iraqi geography from the daily casualty count on TV, and we live for the phone call at 3 a.m. when a scratchy but recognizable voice says 'Hey dad, wow, I'm still alive... let me tell you what happened today.' We live on an edge that you'll be fortunate never to experience." "No Better Friend; No Worse Enemy" The Trenton Times, May 29, 2006 "From Camp Hansen, Okinawa : As their battalion commander, LtCol Ted Studdard told me, "We are fighting in many ways and across many venues. Except for Iraq and Afghanistan, our war is passive. We need to convince the undecided populations of the world that there is hope, and that we can help them have a better life for themselves and their children." It is these Marines on Okinawa, your neighbors like Maj Robert Hallett and my son Cpl Philip Lubin, and all the others in their battery, who are making it happen. Their success in working with these undecided - and so often Muslim - populations of the world will go a long way towards counteracting the mindless violence in Iraq, as well as that of the Bali, London, Madrid, and World Trade Center bombings. Remember, it's "America on duty" that protects "America on-line," so wish your Marines well. Beating the terrorists and preserving our freedom depends on it. Semper Fi.

"4th of July - Marine Corps Style"
Lewiston Sun-Journal
July 4, 2006

"From the USS Iwo Jima :

...So as we watch the fireworks this weekend, and gather with our families in order to celebrate Independence Day, let's hoist a glass to the Marines of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit.

As we take the day off from work here, this is what Capt David Nevers of the MEU says they'll be doing on board the USS Iwo Jima to ensure that America can celebrate July 4th next year. 'We'll be underway, steaming towards the fight. Our helicopters will be in the air, and the Marines throughout the ship will be working and training; attending classes, running, or hiking on the flight deck, firing or cleaning their weapons, or beating the hell out of each other while honing their skills in hand-to-hand combat skills. In other words, preparing for combat. What better way for Marines to celebrate Independence Day ?'

What better way indeed. Semper Fi."

"Evacuation from Beirut"
Jacksonville Daily News

But they didn't march alone. I filmed Marines walking with them, and carrying babies while holding mom's hand. Other Marines carried suitcases, strollers, and pushed elderly Americans in wheelchairs. And as the bow door of the LCU dropped onto the sand, the young Navy sailors swarmed off her and began helping the evacuees through the surf, and to the safety of the LCU.
