LCpl. Boudreaux has told reporters that the sign in the picture originally read "Welcome Marines!" but was altered by someone else. He has not, however, (publicly) produced a version of the original photograph or identified who might have altered it. (If the photo was indeed manipulated, someone involved in the process had to be sufficiently acquainted with Boudreaux to be able to match his name and rank with his picture.)

It looks like it is still being investigated. The website that made a custom sign/photo for you is down now. Looks like they gave up [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img].

I bet it said "Welcome Marines." At least I hope it did. We're getting caught with our pants down way too much over there. The whole world is against us as it is. We can't afford for it to get any worse. I think we'll find out soon enough.

I agree with you Bill, but with the whole world watching, it just ain't gonna happen.
