Godspeed, Nate ... back to Iraq

Lance Cpl. Nate Salatin, USMC

He is deploying for his second tour of duty in Iraq Monday morning. Lance Cpl. Nate Salatin (soon to be Corporal) of Augusta County is heading out again to serve in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

He was home from training for the Thanksgiving weekend and spent much time with family and friends including a bruising but fun volleyball evening with many of the young people from the home schooling community in the SWAC area. It was an opportunity for this home school graduate to get together with his friends one last time for a while....

Godspeed, Nate. We love you ... we will miss you ... and will keep you in our prayers. And though you don't think you're a hero, we do ... and we thank you for your part in protecting our freedoms and keeping us safe from terrorism.

Semper Fi.
