First significant aid
Posted by Heather on May 30th, 2006
Here’s something we probably won’t hear too much about, with all the “Marines are cold blooded killer” news the media PREFERS to report about.
May 30, 2006 (AP)— BANTUL, Indonesia Two U.S. military cargo planes landed Tuesday at the site of an earthquake in Indonesia that killed more than 5,400, bringing some of the first significant aid to reach the tens of thousands of survivors who were left homeless.
About 20 U.S. Marines arrived on the cargo planes in the historic city of Yogyakarta and unloaded heavy lifting machinery and a portable field hospital, as Malaysian, Chinese and Japanese rescue workers joined Indonesian teams providing medical care and emergency supplies to victims.
Some will say: “JUST 20 Marines!?!?”– they will do the work of a thousand ordinary men.
