MAF Presents: The Daily Blog
Here at the Move America Forward Daily Blog we chronicle the good news on the War on Terrorism you might
not have heard about on the evening news. We also shine the spotlight on those whose conduct against our
country and our military is unbecoming.

Common Heroism of Our Men & Women of the Armed Forces
I received this from a friend and wanted to share this with you. It’s from an e-mail exchange between two retired Marines in regards to the photo posted below.
Excuse me if this is too late...I was in Bridgeport, Ca (MCMWTC) last week for a workshop...and am just now plowing through the 200+ e-mails.
This picture is of Cpl Jim Wright, who lost both hands to an RPG in Iraq...quite a leadership story in itself. Our CG, MajGen T. Jones, has befriended this fine Marine (and others) recuperating at Walter Reed and Bethesda, and his story of Cpl Wright brings tears to ones’ eyes. Most telling was after Cpl Wright told MajGen Jones his story (lost both hands and also rec’d a serious wound in the upper thigh)...the general asked him how he kept awake and from going into shock. The Cpl replied: “Sir, I couldn’t pass out...I was in charge!”
That is what our young leaders are made out of!
