    Marine Corps Air Station Yuma

    Lt. Col. Samuel Smith, the commanding officer of Marine Attack Squadron 513, readies his flight equipment in the VMA-513 hangar at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma before departing to Japan to attach to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, Dec. 3. The Harriers took off Dec. 3, with Smith heading the pack. He pithily summarized his feelings on leading the Nightmares overseas one last time: “I’m proud of this unit,” he said. “I’m proud of the Nightmares.” After that he boarded his jet and was off; Marines aren’t known for drawn-out goodbyes.
