While most of us sat home watching the news and generally feeling useless as nipples on a hog, there were a Few Good Men out there doing something about the hostage crisis in Teheran, Iran.

Among the members of Popasmoke, are a number of Marines who planned, prepared and participated in a hell of a mission.

IMHO, there ought to be a recognition of these people and maybe they should have a recognised componenet within Popasmoke. They number in the dozens and they have their fallen comrades to remember, so in some respects, they are like temporary squadron.... sorta.

Out of respect, I won't name the ones I know but they are among us and deserving of our appreication as well as that of our nation.

I will say that the two whom I know are Ugly Angels and career Marines.
