Beckett McMahan '02 escorts brother Michael McMahan '00 to his wedding in June. Tyler Holt sent a report this summer from his post overseas: "I'm in the city of Marjah in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. My job here is to advise, mentor and train the Afghan National Army. I work with the Afghan battalion commander and help the Marines from my unit to better partner with the Afghans. Most of the men I advise are 10 years my senior and have been fighting for 25 years. Fortunately, they respect Marines and we have built good relationships. It's good to be deployed with Marines again. It's even better to see what winning a counterinsurgency looks like. Winning is exactly what the Afghan Security Forces, with Marines supporting them, are doing in southern Helmand Province." He looks forward to hearing from all his Latin friends.
