You voted and August's Corps Top Shot comes from Cpl. Isaac Lamberth.

"During my time on this deployment, I've come to really enjoy
flying with HMH-362. I've been looking for opportunities to really
spotlight the squadron since they are to be deactivated once they
finish this deployment. The three American flags surrounding the
corporal looked so patriotic and made me proud to be a Marine. To me,
it showed there are young people in this country still willing to
volunteer during wartime and go into harm's way for their country. The
Marine manning a .50 cal on the ramp with three American flags behind
him really set off the photo and just screams 'Merica. It makes one
proud to be an American."
"There is an unofficial saying that if a 53 is bleeding hydraulic fluid, then you know you're safe, if it isn't then you're in trouble. The inside of a CH-53D Sea Stallion is very greasy, slippery and dirty and you're constantly getting showered in hydraulic fluid. Some of the aircraft in HMH-362 have flown since the Vietnam War and are quite dirty."
Cpl. Chan Lathung, a native of Oakland, Calif., and a crew chief with
Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 362, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing
(Forward), scans the surrounding area for insurgent activity during a
general support flight over Helmand province, Afghanistan, July 27.
The squadron flies several general support flights weekly delivering
mail, food and ammunition to troops throughout the area.

For all the apologists, the American "America Haters", the people who can't pronounce "corpsmen" properly - it is STILL a flag that brings tears to my tired, beat-down old eyes. Semper Fidelis, indeed.
