Gunnery Sergeant Johns, a veteran of several Iraq campaigns and a former drill instructor, was killed as a contractor. I'm not sure how well linking to a Facebook post works, but I think we should pay particular attention to these American contractors who are doing the fighting in Iraq. They are America's face on the ground, and likely the only Americans who are going to be contesting ISIS's advance in direct combat.
Rest in peace.
Heaven has aquired a new guard at the gates and on the streets.
ReplyDeleteGo in Peace, Marine, know that you served with honor and distinction and will always be remembered by those who called you "Brother".
RIP, GySgt Johns.
