Magnificent article in today’s WaPo– I tried to email my praise to the author but the link didn’t work– which I commend to all.
But Tack had to get back to his fellow Marines. “We were a pretty tight group,” he explained. “In my mind, I was hanging them out to dry while I was in the rear.”
If you can read the article and go to the museum and meet them, then I urge you to do so.
The museum is filled with history they try to make come alive, and they could even donate some of their equipment for the terrorism exhibit. But not yet. They are not ready for their uniforms and guns to be sealed behind a glass partition, relegated to the annals of history.
Their war is not over yet.
This is living history, and those are real Marines.
Outstanding article.
I hope to be able to take my son there some day. Those men sound truly inspirational.
