Marines assigned to Special-Purpose, Marine-Air-Ground-Task-Force, Crisis-Response-Africa participated in a capabilities-exercise to demonstrate infantry-tactics to visiting Italian military leaders at a training site in Vizzini, Italy, Febuary 26th.

On this day in Marine Corps history in 1967,
Private First Class James Anderson Jr. sacrificed his life in order to save his fellow Marines, by using his body to cover an enemy's grenade, in Vietnam. Pfc. Anderson was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, becoming the first African American Marine to earn the nation's highest military award.
