Hard to read the memorial markers. The first is the Memorial Garden for the (Fighting) Fifth Marine Regiment, near the AIT Battalion HQ at Camp Pendleton, CA.
The second pic is the memorial for the KIA of the 4 Battalions of the Fifth Marines, Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The third pic is of the medals and devices and memorials left at the base of the 2/4 Marines.
