Summary[edit]

Description Lance Cpl. Adrian Simone, a rifleman with 1st Platoon, Company B, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, throws up both hands to represent 1st Bn., 6th Marines at the end of the 2nd Marine Division run aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., April 20. The Boonton, N.J., native lost both of his legs from the knee down after stepping on an improvised explosive device in Sangin, located in the southwest corner of Afghanistan. Sgt. Bryan Peterson was at the run taking photos and had this to say: "I was out with the 2nd Marine Division run this morning, around 16,000 Marines, and this Marine who lost both his legs and part of his left thumb from an IED blast in Afghanistan, was asked by his superior if he needed to get out of the formation to rest. He said, 'No sir,' and started screaming his unit's name, '1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment.' Truly humbling. I was speechless. Where do we find such awesome men?" (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Timothy Solano)
