Lance Cpl. Austin L. Barnhill patrols through the city of Hit, Iraq, March 29 with Iraqi children following close behind. Barnhill, 23, a rifleman from Riverside, Calif., assigned to 3rd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 5, spent part of the patrol handing candy out to kids. Marines had to tell the kids, through an interpreter, to keep away when the mob got too big. Throughout the security patrol, groups of children followed Marines wherever they went. (Photo/Cpl.
