You may recall that my very first installment of "Meet a Member of the Coalition" highlighted the stern but friendly Marines from Tonga. Well they take blog center-stage once again as Camp Victory said hail and farewell during the change of command ceremony recognizing the incoming company of Marines relieving the outgoing. The palatial venue was, in fact, in the Al Faw Palace and the imposing rotunda at the center of the structure.
Approximately 120 Tongan Marines were in attendance. On a per capita basis, that would be the equivalent of having 250,000 U.S. troops in the same room. Don't miss the war challenge at the end.
P.S. I spelled "a cappella" wrong but seeing as how it took 45 minutes to upload the video, I'm going to let this one go . . .
