These are the kind of people we have representing us

And it makes you proud.

Here's the beginning of a story from today's paper about a wounded Marine:

"After Marine Lt. Nathan Jeffcoat was hit by an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan on June 30 and traveled back to the states, doctors went looking for him in his hospital room to do physical therapy.

"The Adams County resident, a platoon commander in the 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines, was nowhere to be found.

"Turns out, in true commander fashion, he had escaped and made his way through a quarantined hospital area to check on one of his men who had been injured two weeks before him."

Semper fi, indeed.
