[Scan-DC] HMX-1 Security: Commander in Chief's elite guard force

[michael rumberg]

this is a cool story, thanks for sending to the list.  

some years ago one of my roommates was one of the HMX MPs.  super cool stories and he has some awesome pictures -one is of his helicopter hovering over the Statue of Liberty.  the compound at Quantico is neat, too.
