An American flag that was flown over Camp Leatherneck, amid the battlefields of Afghanistan, during decisive operations against enemy forces in Helmand Province, was dedicated in honor of Dave Mustaine by Colonel Stephen D. Sklenka of United States Marine Corps. Commented Mustaine: "Besides getting married and the birth of my two children, I have never been more proud than this moment. To all of our servicemen and servicewomen, I love you all, and THIS American supports our troops! -Respectfully, Dave Mustaine". Check out images on Dave's Facebook.
