The last Story, probably caused several pairs of drawers to be fatally wounded. Seeing a missile skidding across the floor cannot imagine what those Marines were thinking when they saw that. How do you respond if you are the Army element? I don't think a simple "Sorry, my bad." would cover almost blowing friendlies up with a missile.

Thanks for sharing the 8 unbelievable stories from the second Battle Of Fallujah COL Mikel J. Burroughs by veterans from the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines. It is hard to believe that it was a little over 11 years ago that Fallujah became the scene of brutal urban combat when American, Iraqi, and British forces launched an all out assault on Nov. 8, 2004, to seize it from Iraqi insurgent hands.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs, I have always thought of Marines as heroes. Now I KNOW that they are.
With that having been said, I could not read any further, after I read about Corporal Dale Burger.
Tears just overwhelmed me.
I sincerely and highly Respect, Honor and Love all of you Marines.
Corporal Dale Burger, I could not Honor, Respect or Love you more. Rest in peace, Brother. Rest in peace.
To the family, relatives, and Marines: Corporal Dale Burger- went just the way he would have wanted to: as a Hero.
With All of My Love, Margaret C Higgins US Army Retired
