RAMADI, Iraq (June 11, 2008) – Lt. Col. Brett A. Bourne (center) stops to interact with the locals during a foot patrol through the Ramadi market June 9. The Marines and Iraqi police receive a positive response from the locals every time they patrol through the burgeoning market. “The souk is usually pretty busy, a lot of hustle and bustle,” said Chris Sarlo, an anti-tank missleman with 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 1. “For the most part the people are really friendly, if you say hello to them they’ll smile and say hello back. The area is 100 percent better than what it used to be.” (Official U.S. Marine Corps by Lance Cpl. Casey Jones) (RELEASED)
