Open Letter To The US Marines From The People of Nepal
By SarojKharel | Posted 2 minutes ago | Nepal
US Marines in Nepal,
We are deeply saddened to hear about the loss of 6 Marines in the UH-1Y Huey helicopter crash this week.
You and your fellow Marine brothers and sisters came to us at a time when we were down.
We, as Nepalis, are mourning the loss of thousands of our people, coming to terms with our centuries old historical monuments turning to dust, and trying to cope with earthquake PTSD.
We are really grateful to you for standing with us at a difficult hour.
As you mourn, honor and remember the lives of 6 of the finest warriors in the world. Please know that we mourn, honor and salute them too.
We stand with the six Devil Dogs that were taken away from us all much too soon.
Thank you for what you do, and sacrificing so much for your own country and for us with Operation Sahayogi Haat in Nepal.
You are in our thoughts.
Semper Fi.
The People of Nepal
