Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines - RIMPAC 2004

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - U.S. Marines assigned to 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment disembark Amphibious Assault Vehicles during a mechanized raid in support of exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2004.
Reason
High quality/resolution, Free license, Accurate and good captioning, with no digital manipulation. On a personal note, I think it is a really cool beach picture, with the obvious twist that it is an amphibious assault. The only problem I see is I cannot honestly say it is Wikipedia's best work, although I personally think it is an amazing picture.
