re: #317 Gus 802

I like the article’s ending:

Many of the Marines were on post-deployment leave when they were recalled, he noted, but they’re eager to help in relieving the Haitian people’s suffering.

“We did just get back a month ago, but the morale is off the charts here,” he said. “We are absolutely ready to go. The images we’ve been seeing on the news, it’s catastrophic, and it’s very sad.

“Marines are definitely warriors first, and that is what the world knows the Marines for,” he continued, “[But] we’re equally as compassionate when we need to be, and this is a role that we’d like to show - that compassionate warrior, reaching out with a helping hand for those who need it. We are very excited about this.”
