Fiore: "Thank you Google for the great Map and Samsung for the Awesomeness GALAXY NOTE II!"

Good thing he didn't use Apple's Map, he'll end up in a tigers den or even worse...

He'll end up in space with Apple maps.

"you mean I have to walk upwards at a 90 degree angle?"

Nobody will know what happened to the other marine using Apple Maps.

He probably has reached dark space now.

Marines are badass. They're a different freakin' breed.

Most people walk around a track for charity. The truly daring ones run marathons.

What's the marine do? Hike 5,000 miles through Vietnam, spreading the word about nearby clinics and raising over 50,000 all by himself.

kudos, doing something that helps.

at least it is not just something cheezy promotional crap.

would have been more interesting to read about his journey and experience and not what freakin "apps" he used geez

 

[gti88]

He would have raised much more in 5 years if he had a job in the US, but with very different experience, that's for sure.

 

[gti88]

Oh, wait, he only spent 1 year? That's another story.

 

[gti88]

Time well spent.

SEMPER FI

You'd NEVER see a liberal peacenik get his hands dirty and do something like that

 

[manicmike]

one thing to say... Hero

Someone "thumbs-down"(ed) this post? Why?

Most people's idea of "charity" is dropping a few pennies that is their change into the box for Ronald McDonald house after they pay for their Big Mac... Good for him, giving a year of his life to help complete strangers who didn't even speak his language. It's not some homeless guy on the corner, he went to the other side of the planet to make a difference. Kudos to you sir, and God bless.

Sounds more like a paid Google PR

sorry, but thats not the marine part, the marine part just lets him push past the point where most people would give up for a day, he is just that outstanding a human being.

Why does this make me think of a Proclaimers song?

 

[g-unit1111]

If I could walk 500 miles and I could walk 500 more just to be the man who walked 5,000 miles right up to your door... come on sing it with me! :lol:
