Marine Corps and Navy leaders have wrangled over what the right level of amphib ships should be to help the Corps return to the sea. Even then, top Marine Corps leaders were already eyeing drastic measures to compensate for dropping below the 38-ship mark. The amphibious fleet, or "Gator Navy" as its known inside the service, is key to the Marine Corps' overarching strategy to bring their forces back to the shoreline. "You can't [cut] $58 billion and not take some risk," he added, noting the Navy's $58 billion cost-cutting goal set by the White House earlier this year. To do that, the Navy and Marines' have said they need 38 amphibious ships. That number was a tough pill to swallow for the Corps, but they took their medicine. But budget pressures forced the services to drop that number down to 33 ships. "We need 32, 33 ships, but our goal is 30 right now.Source: AOL Defense

Caps for Soldiers started after Anderson in December 2008 sent her grandson, a soldier stationed in South Korea, a knit hat to wear under his helmet. The hat was such a hit, he asked for 35 more for his fellow service members. The notes go back two years to when Anderson, 68, took on a project that has made the lives of thousands of service members serving overseas a little more comfortable. The next month, Anderson spoke at a community meeting at Superstition Sunrise, the RV resort where the Minnesota resident and her husband, Owen, spend four months of the year, and got her neighbors involved. — A scrapbook sits in Maryls Anderson’s home, filled with dozens of printed out e-mails and website comments from service members....
