Gettin' ready to kick some Police/Firefighter ass! All in good fun of course!

Marine gives pep talk before fight

Lt. Col. Shane Tomko, Special Purpose Marine Ground Air-Ground Task Force commander with 3rd Battalion, 24th Marine Regiment gives words of encouragement to one of his Marines, Lance Cpl. Chris Williams, 22, a radio operator with the reserve battalion, before his fight at the "First to Fight" amateur boxing tournament. At this tournament, Marines and St. Louis police and firefighters go toe-to-toe at the Scottstrade Center in St. louis, June 20 with all proceeds benefitting Backstoppers, Semper Fi Foundation and Toys for Tots. Marine Week provides an opportunity to increase public awareness of the Marine Corps' value to our nation's defense and to preserve and mature the Corps' relationship with the American people.
