CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — Marines and sailors from the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment will return to their North Carolina base after nearly nine months in Afghanistan.

Approximately 150 Camp Lejeune Marines and sailors will return home Tuesday. The battalion was on the front lines during operations in Helmand province this spring and summer. The province is a known Taliban hotspot and the scene of some of the fiercest fighting in Afghanistan this year.

The Marines were part of a surge of 12,000 troops to Afghanistan in the spring.

1. Support for Afghanistan Veterans
This is an important site, supporting veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan: http://www.peer2.com/PSMgTm

It costs nothing to join and you earn points toward free stuff for having friends sign up, but that shouldnt be your only reason for doing it. The're trying to get 111,111 signatures by New Years now. The initial goal was Veterans Day, which didn't happen... Whats wrong with people? So any and all help would be boht significant and appreciated!
