This video made me cry -- proud and sad at the same time -- and I didn’t even know those brave Marines. I agree that the young generation has what it takes!
This is the information from the person that uploaded the video:
The Commandant of the Marine Corps, General James T. Conway delivers the 234th Marine Corps Birthday message. “Carrying On A Legacy Of Valor” It honors all Marines past and present. A special tribute to today’s Heroes, Cpl Jonathan T. Yale, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines and LCpl Jordan C. Haerter, 1st Battalion, 9th Marines. These fine Marines were KIA 22 April, 2008. Their heroic actions that day, saved the lives of over 50 Iraqis and Marines. They were both posthumously presented the Navy Cross for Extraordinary Heroism on February 20th, 2009. The Navy Cross is our nations second highest award for valor in combat. Jonathan was 21 years old, Jordan was 19 years old.
