"Semper Fidelis" from Iraq

Sgt. Major David Fox (Steve Hunyar's friend) in Iraq.

His C.O. had just told him he was selected for Sergeant Major. We were getting ready to go back up to the entry control point and he gave me the news.
Congratulations Sgt. Major! "Semper Fi" - "Always faithful."

This was the first free election in Iraq and I was proud to have participated. (Yes Sgt. Major Fox, a day in history -- like so many because of our brave men and women like you in our military services. You make us proud 24/7. How can we ever thank you enough ? Semper Fi !)

"Gentlemen, it is an honor for me to serve this country and to serve patriots like yourselves!"

"My home town is Columbus, Ohio.

I would be remiss in my duties if I didn’t tell you what an outstanding bunch of Marines I had served with in Iraq. They all hailed from Georgia and they were some of the bravest Marines I ever met. They never complained, they believed in what we were doing and they made our mission a success. - Sgt. Major David Fox"
