This one was taken a day after I got out of the special aid station for getting beat up by a violent protestor. My nose is swollen and has stitches, my head has stitches, and my arm is in a cast (off camera). My friend Anthony took this picture, and I was pretty angry at him for it too. It wasn't until later that I realized it was a good reminder of how fragile people, even Marines, can be.
