Photos from Helmand province
Got these photos this morning, but I couldn’t post them from home because they were too big! All were taken by Staff Sgt. Robert Piper (or, as I like to call him, Roger).
You can see what I mean about it being the “Green Zone” in this picture
Thank you so much for these pics!! They are great pictures! It truly helps to see the guys! Do you know what company this is? My son is in A co so I was wondering. Thank you again for your great work! What brave men!!

What a wonderful gift on May 1st! Thank you so much. As I’ve mentioned before, this site is just the best and so are you! I keep thinking I’ll get a glimpse of my precious son but even if I don’t, there’s a comfort in seeing all of these guys together. We appreciate all of your hard work

This is Charlie company. I’m sorry I don’t have any of any other companies (or of the ACE), but again, if anyone wants to share any photos, please e-mail me at jhlad@freedomenc.com and I can post them!

Hi Jen - Thanks for posting everything! SSgt Piper has photos and videos at one of the FOBS. This afternoon I should get it and then I will send it to you ASAP. His stuff is from Charlie. Tomorrow he is going to go to Alpha and Bravo to get photos and videos from my Marines who are and have been with them. So - soon will have even more photos and video. If folks want to know what media we have embedded, I can give you those updates too. RIght now we have NBC with Alpha. AP with Bravo. AFP with Charlie. I am expecting a reporter from the East Hampton Star today who will go to Alpha.
Talk to you soon.
