I was Alpha Company 1st Tanks about 100 years ago it seems.

Thank you for posting this and please ping me to any additional segments.

I'm glad your Lt. made it back safe. Sounds like he was in a heckuva unit.

There are more "old grunts" in this forum that you would ever imagine!

The younguns are out their fighting, and we old farts have been reduced to keyboard warrior status...

Col. McCoy, the C.O. of 3/4 - is "Old Corps", get the job done, deal with combatants quickly, brutally, violently and get our boys home..

One of those rare Officers, with whom the Marine Corps seems to be overly blessed ---

Our "Young Lt." thought the world of him...

I'll try to post the rest of the series as the SF Chronicle released them... These are all going to be ACTUAL embedded reporter notes from the long drive from Kuwait into downtown Baghdad...

It was Marines from Col. McCoy's 3/4, that assisted the Iraqi citizens to bring down that huge bronze statue of Saddam in Baghdad's main square ---- the scene seen round the world on TV...

Stay tuned..the rest of the story should be good.
