The Pipes Are Calling
There's an unusual sound frequently heard around Fallujah these days....bagpipes.
Marine First Sergeant Dwayne Farr blows into his set of pipes when he isn't on the front lines. Sometimes he wears his Marine fatigues with his gun at his side; other times he dons a kilt.
Farr is black and from Detroit but says he was inspired by another Marine who didn't fit the Scotsman stereotype. He says if a small Hispanic guy can play the bagpipes, so could he.
Cool.
