Was an honor to serve alongside GySgt Wallgren and being present when he gave this speech before we headed into Marjah

Afghanistan was *INVADED* by the United States before even attempting to prove what caused the *TOTAL* collapse of the WTC 1 and 2 buildings and the murder of hundreds of innocent people including 60 police officers and 343 firemen.

I miss Gunny, I was part of the take down of the last, and biggest stronghold known as Marjah. The initial push was great, we were making progress, conducted Electric ⚡️ warfare to disable most IEDs. The we had an Army special forces (SF10)to the north of the city. They were being overrun by the Taliban. We have to pick a few of our guys from each team and create a QRF and save their asses. It was a good fight for sure.

The night before my Marine tank platoon went into Kuwait in Desert Storm our Platoon commander a Captain Wallace read a short speach to us. All I remember is he said we were not fighting for America or the Marine Corps but for 2nd Platoon! My goal was to live thru the 1st 24 hours as we had been told that due to the Iraqi minefields and fortifications we would be combat inaffective after 24 hours due to casualties. The minute we came thru the minefields the Iraqi grunts started surrendering. We did take some artillery fire and had a few short fire fights and a couple of tank fights but all in all it wasnt that bad for war.

This speech speaks volumes of what the marines and the marine corps have and continue to do for the US. I’m not from america and unfortunately we don’t have a marine corps, marines are a unique breed. Thanks for your service and god bless brother.

I agree, I watch these videos because it shows what a leader should be and for points to take away for my intended career. The one thing I see is personability and BELIEVING what you say when you speak from the heart. As simple as it sounds it's very rare

My co Gunny would always say “well gents, we’re going to Disney land for adults” before one of our Afghan pumps, but eventually someone leaked pictures of him wearing high heels and women lingerie, so he never even made it there haha. He went to Disney land for unbecoming and other than honorable discharges. Which is probably in like Missouri or North Dakota.
