2 Marines heading to Iraq. (PICTURES INCLUDED)

[Mickey's sunshine]

Well, the last several months have flown by and I knew this time would come..... my little brother, Brodey is heading back to Iraq for his second tour. For his own safety I wont say where but it will be worse than his previous area of Fallujah. He has been at 29 Palms, in California for the last 6 weeks for intense training.

My cousin, who joined a little before Brodey is going for his first time and he will be close to the Syrian border somewhere....again not mentioning exact locations. Tim is 21 and Brodey is 20. They were both home this weekend to visit before being shipped out and I wanted to share a few pics with you all of them. Please if you can spare some good thoughts for them over the next 7 months, I would appreciate it!

Tim is due to ship out around March 1 and Brodey about a week later.
Brodey is in the gray sweatshirt and Tim is in navy.
