The news looks grim from back in the States. We did take losses that, in our hearts, we will always live with. The men we lost were taken within the very opening minutes of the violence. They could not have foreseen the treachery of the enemy and they did not suffer. We can never replace these Marines and Sailors but they will fight on with us in spirit. We are not feeling sorry for ourselves nor do we fear what tomorrow will bring. The battalion has lived up to its reputation as Magnificent Bastards.
Yesterday made everyone here stronger and wiser; it will be a cold day in Hell before we are taken for granted again.

Thanks RC, that was great to hear this officer's confidence. We cannot allow the course of history to be dictated by terrorists. Let them die the death they so rightully deserve.

US Marines pray over the body of a dead brother in Fallujah, Iraq.
We should all thank God for sending us men both bold enough to slay the wicked and openly kneel in humble prayer.

We have our Marine moms covered on two fronts.
Coop just beat me, but I'm sure our kind Admin Mods will let both posts stand, two different headlines / potential audiences, fighting our powerful mainstream press.
