To all of the ignorant, self-righteous, self-serving individuals who have maligned my leaders, my country, and my fellow servicemen and I, I dedicate this photo. This photograph is of an act of dedication, belief, and character apparently beyond your means. I sincerely hope that this makes you think twice about who you are, what you do, and what you think makes you so important, that you are in a position worthy of criticism of men and women like myself and my mates. You need to wake up. You need to get out of your complacent mindset, and pull the media-veil off of your eyes. Go out. Get knowledge. Stop watching biased media and railing at our government and troops. Eat a slice of humble pie, and remember that we are, still, the people of freedom. And remember, that freedom is meant for everyone, not just Americans. I'm willing to help other countries achieve that freedom. I hope that, after some careful thought, you will be too.

God Bless my Corps, and God Bless America.

Corporal Matthew Bailey Rodgers
