Check out this link for a short video "from the frontlines" featuring the Marines of the 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment at Camp Bastion in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Spirit of America has purchased over $40,000 worth of supplies for the 3/8 through our Support Marines in Afghanistan project with more to come!

A 40' ocean container full of medical supplies and an ultrasound should arrive to the 3/8 courtesy of you and Spirit of America in the next few days.  In addition, we are purchasing the 2nd wave of requested supplies submitted by Lieutenant Colonel Dave Odom and coordinated with the help of Marine Major Brian Mulvihill. We'll post information on those supplies along with photos and updates of the receipt of the initial donations as soon as we can. 

In the meantime, please consider donating to the 3/8 project! We've made a dent in their list of items needed for the local civilians and security forces, but there is much more to be done. As the fight in Afghanistan changes from the "forgotten war" to the US military's top priority, the Marines are playing a crucial role. Your support of this project will directly help the 3/8 improve conditions and forge positive relationships with the local citizens.
