Sgt Grit is a place where Marines can come and meet other Marines, share tattoos and stories, keep up with Marine Corps news, or shop for USMC gear.
Oh yeah! I forgot to send you some pics from Baghdad!
The first is me with some other Marines at Baghdad International Airport (BIAP). I'm the dude in the middle, looking very much like the Winger I am.
The second it PTing around Saddam's palace area at BIAP. No, I wasn't in court. Notice I'm wearing my Grit shorts!
Here’s a picture for you. It’s my son, LCpl Ryan Visket, in Najaf. He is sitting on a grave in the cemetery. This was taken just days before he was wounded by shrapnel from an RPG on August 25th. He’s now back with his unit.
Thanks.

I attached a picture of a raid we did on the Kufah IP station. We trapped some insurgents in a room and a threw a few frag grenades at them. It lit the building on fire and we had to evacuate. We killed a lot of bad guys that night and took 29 detainees.
Hope all is well….Bruce
I have heard so many times since my return home from Iraq that the U.S. didnt have good reasons to invade Iraq. Well I would like to believe that this picture that I took with three Iraqi kids who were trying to sell me this U.S. flag for one American dollar shows that we didn’t invade Iraq for “no reason.” I am a former reserve Marine who left my wife and two kids to go to Iraq from April to September 2003 so that these three young Iraqi boys will have a safer future.
Smoking Marine – See what has everyone talking.
