We’re Still at War: Photo of the Day for May 31, 2012

A reconnaissance Marine with Battalion Landing Team 3/1 descends down a thick, plaited rope rigged to a UH-1Y Huey flown by pilots with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 268 on to USS Makin Island’s flight deck here May 31. The landing team serves as the ground combat element with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit. The unit embarked the ship, as well as USS New Orleans and USS Pearl Harbor in San Diego Nov. 14, beginning a seven-month deployment to the Western Pacific, Horn of Africa and Middle East regions.

This is it, folks. We can’t come up short.

Today is the final day of our Spring Membership Drive, and we’re still about 400 donations short of our 1,000-donation goal. We need your help to get where we need to be.

For 50 years, we’ve been a reader-supported newsroom, never the puppet of a billionaire or a corporation. That’s why your donation makes such a difference here. Every gift, whether it’s $20 or $200, funds our investigative reporting, from the first pitch to the final proof.

And this is the moment that we need your support.

We need to hit that 1,000 goal this month to fund upcoming investigations. And we know we can get there with your support. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to give, this is it. Help us get to 1,000 today.
