Marine reservists heading to Afghanistan


Tuesday morning in the Arizona desert, 43 Marines said goodbye to their families to take the final steps before deploying to the mountains of Afghanistan. KSAV-TV in Phoenix reports the reservists will be overseas for about 11 months after completing final training in California. About one minute into the below video, you will see the Marines and their families praying together before their bus rode off into the dusk, and the emotional reactions of loved ones forced to say goodbye.
