Thank you for posting the pictures of the Marines in Bravo Company. My fianceé is there right now and is a Sgt. in Bravo Company. May I ask where you got the pictures from? I haven't spoken to him in over a month and I am dying to see him. Thanks!!!
Blog admin here: Thanks for reading and happy Sunday.
The images are released through DVIDS, the U.S. military's digital media outlet.
1st Battalion, 5th Marines is attached to the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade in Afghanistan.

I'd also like to thank you for posting. I search for new pics of Bravo Company every day hoping to see the face of my Marine. Thankfully, it's only been a week since I've heard from him... but it would be nice to see he's doing okay.
Lilochich- My prayers are with you and your Devil Dog. May they all come home safely and soon.

Hello, thanks for the pics although I would like to see some from weapons company. My Marine is in there in Afghanistan in the Helmond Province. We have not talked with him on the fone for over a month and are worried and scarred. I hope and pray they are all ok. Please God, watch over Martin and his fellow Marines. Thank you, Marinemom karen
