Gators do the chomp in Iraq

[MahxFahn]

Wasn't sure this was the right part of the forum to post this, but here it is anyway. I'm sure they will be paying as much attention to the Homecoming game as we will.

The Gator Nation is everywhere, including Iraq.
The University of Florida Athletic Association donated about 30 Gator T-shirts recently to a group of Marines in Iraq's volatile Al-Anbar Province. The group includes UF graduates and students as well as other Gator fans from Gainesville and beyond, according to Sgt. Ernesto Rancel Jr., who helped arranged the donation as president of the Collegiate Veterans Society and part of UF's Naval ROTC.
The group pictured in the accompanying photo is the infantry unit Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines. Here's a full list of the Marines pictured:
1st Lt. Bobby Long
