"Cpl. Graham is an extremely hard worker. That's why he was selected to go on RCT-7's last mission," said Staff Sgt. Cedric Swan, the radio chief with RCT-7.

Corporal Sasha Savage, a supply noncommissioned officer with Regimental Combat Team 7, has helped fill an important role by maintaining complete, accurate records of supply purchases made by subordinate units. Savage, a 23-year-old native of Beaverton, Mich., originally deployed with Marine Air Ground Task Force Support Company, Reset and Reconstitution Operational Group, but was moved to RCT-7 when a shortfall was identified by the RCT. "When she came in, she was rather quiet about things," said 1st Lt. Douglas Turner, the supply officer with RCT-7 and a 26-year-old native of Columbus, Ohio. "Her path of leadership now is leading her peers, leading by example.

Bonnie Amos, wife of Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. James F. Amos, talks about her recent trip to visit Marines overseas during a military spouses’ conference here Jan. 31, 2013.
