UNITED STATES MARINES and BMW: PERFECT TOGETHER


Bittersweet article in today's New York Times, about a little treat that BMW North America gave to permanently wounded Marines returning from Iraq.
Kudos to BMW for their time and assistance, but reading about these guys' injuries is very sobering. They are the epitome of toughness and "never-say-die" attitude.
