Everyone wanted to shake Cpl. Ted Dickson’s hand last night.
“I want to thank you for serving our country,” Marine Corps veteran Rick Edmunds, 55, told him.
Dickson, a 22-year-old Marine from Powhatan County, recently finished a four-year active-duty stint that included operations in Iraq this year and last. He said he knew what it was like to sit on a wall and “know a handful of guys are waiting to shoot at you.”
Thank you Corporal Dickson!

Tell him OOORRAAAH! from a sand squid in Kuwait. Proud to support his unit.
