Al Anbar Province, the infamous Al Anbar, a place where all Hell breaks loose.
THIS IS OUR STORY...
THIS IS OUR WAR.
All of the events in this are 100% true.
Finally, this book will hopefully help families and friends of combat Veterans in understanding us and where we are coming from.
I wrote this book to possibly reach out to our Veterans for seeking help.
Also for other Veterans who have been through something similar to let them know that your feelings are normal, real, and you are not alone.
This book was written primarily to tell our story and to honor the fallen.
To my knowledge our Company to this day is still the hardest hit unit of all the Iraq War.
Our Company alone was putting up stats comparable to the Vietnam war.
Plenty of time for the enemy to embed into the cities and channel down insurgents/weaponry from Syria.
We went into a region that hasn\'t had US troops in there since the invasion, two years earlier.
This book is about a Marine Corps Battalion that secured that region from February to October in 2005.
Not saying they\'re all bad, just not used to change.
They are dedicated, deeply rooted, and very strong in their beliefs.
The people in that region are unlike the rest of Iraq.
This area of Iraq is unforgiving.
There\'s an old joke about this place........
How did Saddam Hussein control the Al Anbar?.....
He didn\'t.
