    A young male service member in U.S. Marine Corps MARPAT camouflage uniform stands with arms crossed and smiling in front of large pallets of bottled water wrapped in plastic. The setting appears to be an outdoor staging or distribution area, likely associated with disaster relief or humanitarian aid operations. Multiple pallets of water bottles extend into the background alongside additional stacked cases.

    Marine Cpl. Daniel C. Pigna, assigned to Combat Logistics Regiment 3's Burma humanitarian assistance/disaster relief team, said he liked moving from an exercise to a real world operation. "If there's anything I could be doing, it's this," Pigna said. "The people of Burma need help, and the Marines were already here to give that help." Pigna and other CLR-3 Marines, already deployed to Thailand for Exercise Cobra Gold 2008, shifted their efforts to relief operations after Cyclone Nargis struck Burma, May 2, killing and displacing thousands of people. Pigna is a Pittsgrove, N.J. native, who graduated from A.P. Schalick High School.
