Gen. David Petraeus, left, U.S. Forces Afghanistan and NATO International Security Assistance Force commander, shakes hands with Sgt. James Vickrey, Marine Attack Squadron 513’s career planner, during an Independence Day ceremony at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, July 4. “Being in Afghanistan on the birthday of our nation is one of the most rewarding moments of my life,” said Vickrey. “While it is not easy to be away from my loved ones on this day, I know that in some small part that what I am doing on this is making this world a better place to live.” Vickrey and his squadron are deployed from Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Ariz., to Kandahar.
