Here is a video of another unit 3rd Battalion 1st Marines, my unit 1st Battalion 8th Marines was also a part of this operation as well as two other Marine Battalions. It was called the second battle of Fallujah. And took place at the end of 2004. [youtu.be/s\_nxS9ZL1xA](https://youtu.be/s_nxS9ZL1xA) ---
