   Conway, who will also receive a fourth star, will succeed Commandant Gen. Mike Hagee as early as this November, officials have said.

As the commander of I Marine Expeditionary Force in 2003, Conway oversaw troops during the invasion of Iraq and returned the following year to help execute the first battle of Fallujah that April.

Conway, 58, and a 36-year veteran of the Corps, is currently director of operations for the Joint Staff.

In a statement today, Hagee said Conway is a “superb, multi-talented leader.”

“He has proven he can do it all, on and off the battlefield. I am extremely happy for the Corps and the nation at his confirmation to be the 34th commandant,” Hagee said. “He and his wife, Annette, will be a great team.”

Staff Sergeant Chambers stands for hours, to honor those that have fallen.

Marines take care of their own, even when they're gone.

    The attached picture is from Memorial Day.

    These Marines (Left to right Cpl Montesinos, Cpl Arias, LCpl Fisk, LCpl Saucier, Cpl Halfmann, and Sgt Cooper. All are Lima Battery Marines except Sgt Cooper; he is now on recruiting duty.) of 3d Bn, 11th Marines had a long weekend and could've gone to the beach, home to visit their families, or anywhere else they wanted. What they did was drive 1,000 miles from 29 Palms, California to Dubois, Wyoming to stand in the snow and pay respects to LCpl Chance Phelps and his family.

   I know this gave the Phelps family great comfort and pride.
