Salute to the Marines Week: Modern Marines Online

Did you know that the Marines have a blog? You can keep up with reports of their latest campaigns and engagements as well as features on outstanding Marines.  Speaking of features on outstanding Marines, the Marines' Facebook page offers up their Marine Fan of the Week and Outstanding Marines.  These articles are always inspiring and more.

Categories include Continuing Operations. Corps Connections and one of my favorites, Marines Uncovered.  These features give us an inside look into the Marine operations, their families, their events, but most of all, the Marines themselves. Some recent articles on the Marine blog include:

Marines Emerge Unscathed from Operation Jaws

One Day at a Time, Supporting a Family Member with PTSD

Marine Crew Chief Gets off the Couch, and Into Combat

I write about Marines because I admire them, but there is nothing that can compare with their real stories, real men and women who are real heroes.  Take some time this week while we're celebrating freedom to check out the Marines' blog!
