Mosque, Hospital to Receive Aid

Staff Sgt. Ryan Luby, a patrol leader with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 2, stands on a rock providing security while Marines talk to a local Afghan during a patrol, June 7. The Marines patrolled through the local area during the early morning to display a security presence. Then the Marines sought out a few places where they could provide aid. One of these places was a mosque just outside the town. Civil affairs Marines talked to the man who owned the mosque about improving the location. The Marines at Musa Qal'eh plan to help the man by putting a roof over the building.
