From: Ellen K. 

My young cousin is a Marine.  I saw him at a family wedding a couple of
weeks ago.  I asked him about Iraq and he just said he was not sent because
his unit (he didn't say unit, but I forget the word he said) was tasked
with training fliers here.   He's about finished with his service
now and is planning to become a firefighter.  If you ask me the country
could use more young men like him.
