    CAMP COURTNEY, OKINAWA, Japan— Pfc. Blamo Barlue poses for a picture Sept. 12 aboard Camp Courtney, Okinawa, Japan. In 2003, Barlue was deathly ill with Measles at refugee camp off of the Ivory Coast of West Africa, when the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps came on a humanitarian mission and saved his life with a vaccine. Because of their actions, Barlue enlisted in the Marine Corps and is determined to give back and leave an impact where ever he goes. Barlue works endlessly to better himself physically, mentally and spiritually. He is a postal clerk with Headquarters and Support Battalion, Marine Corps Installations Pacific-Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, Japan. (U.S. Marine Photo by Lance Cpl. Tayler P. Schwamb)
