A great Thanksgiving for Clint (Gunny) and his crew in Afganistan….. they are on their way home, and he might be able to get some waves next week around the Oceanside, Ca. area……

Here is todays final OEF Combat Camera PPT. It has been a pleasure bringing our imagery to you all for the last eight months. I hope you all enjoyed the images and look forward to the next COMCAM teams imagery. We will no longer be responding to our Afghan accounts. Take care and Semper Fi.

LCpl Statz was wounded in action back in June and had to return home for recovery. We picked this image for him because it was a very candid image of a local Afghan and was a great representation of LCpl Statz work. He was doing what a good Combat Cameraman does: Capturing moments that tell

I chose this photo because I feel that it justifies the word ?Combat? being used in Combat Camera. This is my photo, there are many like it but this one is my own.

The reason I picked this photo was because it demonstrates the U.S. Marines and Sailors taking care of the local nationals while also completing their mission. We spent a lot of time with the locals and helping the kids.

I came into Afghanistan with the advanced party of 2d BN 7th Marines. I chose this photo because it is one of the first that I took on this deployment. It was published and I got to see what other people thought of it very early in the deployment.

It has been an amazing trip. Thanks to everyone at 2/7, Combat Camera and all of our family and friends for the support and care packages. We hope you all enjoyed the imagery. It is time for us to come home! Semper Fi, Gunny Runyon
