Specialist Jacob William Moore, 21, stares into the distance as he clutches the hand of a seriously wounded comrade on board a medevac air ambulance racing towards Kandahar Air Field in southern Afghanistan, Nov 22, 2010. Spc Moore was part of a stretcher team carrying a wounded man to safety when they hit a second explosive device, buried in their path. The men, from the 2-502 Infantry's Attack Company were operating in Nalgham, in Zhari district. Two Americans and one Afghan soldier were killed in the attacks, four others, including Spc Moore, were wounded.
The troops are part of the 101st Airborne Division - known as the screaming eagles - sent to Afghanistan in June 2010 as part of Barack Obama's surge. Moore and his comrades paid tribute to their fallen as "phenomenal soldiers". They said the general public in America have no idea what is going on in Afghanistan. Moore returned to active duty and finished out his tour in Afghanistan.

We asked drill instructor Sgt. Jasmine Penado, Support Battalion, Recruit Training Regiment, on what it means to her to make Marines.

“It is a demand on yourself. You think you’re tired and you think you have reached your potential, but it is no longer about yourself. You won’t want to wake up in the morning but you do it anyways because it is for the recruits. You have to give it your all no matter if you are tired because at the end of the day, who are the recruits going to emulate? You have to set the example at all times.” Photo by Cpl. Sarah Stegall Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island SC.
