confirmation process, as you know. in the nation s heartland about 150 u.s. marines answering the call to duty. they re members of lima company, a columbus-based marine reserve unit and they re shipping out to california. they ll train for their assignment overseas and could land in such trouble spots as iraq, afghanistan or even the horn of africa. it s a roller coaster ride of emotions, but we re very proud. i could not be more proud. just praying there s protection over them and we re just on eye just know they ll all be back. we agree with those sentiments and those marines will spend the next few months training and then spend about a year in their assignment overseas. we lift up every man and woman fighting for our freedom both in afghanistan and iraq. soldier on you fought for what was right
