Columbus, Neb., native Cpl. Nicholas Hardesty, the machine-guns squad leader for 3rd Platoon, Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, provides security while halted during a patrol. Hardesty, 22, has enjoyed a sense of camaraderie with his fellow Marines one can only attain through combat, he said.
“It’s an eye-opener being out here with these guys,” said Hardesty. “You don’t realize how close you’ll become to these guys until you’re out here either. I always heard that you’d never have closer friends than the ones you’ve been to combat with. I knew I would rely on these guys a lot, and I know they rely on me too. You’ve got to help each other out; it’s like a family thing.”
