First Lieutenant Daniel J. Marusak and First Lieutenant Denis Campbell portraying their Friar Pride half a world away. Both young men have earned Combat Infantry badges which is awarded for meritorious conduct in combat. This photo was taken this year in Kunar when they got together for the 1st time since graduation from Providence College. Despite everything else going on around them in their young lives, their pride in Providence College is evident in this picture.

(Dan and Denis both served as ROTC honor guardsmen at several PC basketball games during their matriculation at PC.)
