Wounded Marine In Iraq Gives His Attackers The One Finger Salute
Topics: Iraq
Marine Gunnery Sgt. Michael Burghardt signals defiance at his Iraqi attackers after being injured by an improvised explosive device near Ramadi. (Hat tip - California Conservative)
(...)Once Marine Gunnery Sgt. Michael Burghardt realized he could wiggle his toes and fingers, he had one message for the insurgents who wounded him - defiance. Burghardt, of Huntington Beach, Calif., disarmed two bombs that were found - quick action that probably saved the lives of several Nebraska soldiers. But he couldn't get to a third.(...)My daughter is a physicans assistant serving with the PA National Guard in Ramadi...she happened to be the one waiting for the bird to bring in this trauma case. After having 4 dead that day...she could not believe when in her words "low and behold this dude comes just strutting in with no pants on" he made her day....and mine too...he is one tough marine...salute to you too Cindy Sheehan!
