Martin Savidge
of CNN, embedded with the 1st Marine battalion, was talking
with 4 young Marines near his foxhole this morning live on CNN.
He had
been telling the story of how well the Marines had been looking
out for and
taking care of him since the war started. He went on to tell about
the
many hardships the Marines had endured since the war began and
how they all
look after one another.
He turned to the
four and said he had cleared it with their commanders
and they could use his video phone to call home. The 19 year old
Marine next
to him asked Martin if he would allow his platoon sergeant to
use his call
to call his pregnant wife back home whom he had not been able
to talk to in
three months.
A stunned Savidge
who was visibly moved by the request shook his head
and the young Marine ran off to get the sergeant.
Savidge recovered after a few seconds and turned back to the three
young
Marines still sitting with him and asked which one of them would
like to
call home first, the Marine closest to him responded with out
a moments
hesitation " Sir, if is all the same to you we would like
to call the
parents of a buddy of ours, Lance Cpl Brian Buesing of Cedar Key,
Florida who was killed on 3-23-03 near Nasiriya to see how they
are doing".
At that Martin
Savidge totally broke down and was unable to speak. All
he could get out before signing off was "Where do they get
young men like
this?"
