This is a video I created to honor the courageous soldiers and civilians, and their families, that I served alongside in Diyala province, Iraq, during the "surge" in 2007-2008. On this 4th of July, let us resolve to live our lives worthy of their sacrifices and endeavor to always do what is right regardless of the difficulty...

Pass it on...

  • The only thing that leaves a bad taste in my mouth is that 3/2 led the way into Baqubah. 1/3 of those names on that wall are from 3/2 but they aren't recognized as such because they are listed under Cav and 4/2. Good video. Much love and respect for the men that lost their lives there. RIP Chevy (KIA March 14, 2007) and RIP Jesse (KIA Easter Sunday 2007). They weren't mentioned in this video.

  • My husband was there during that time

  • @lynnd23 Your husband was a good man. Your loss was a great sacrifice, I'm sure everyone thanks you.

  • C-trp 6-9 here. Dehn, Hollopeter, Kowalzcyk.

  • Sacs,we should get together again some time, 6-9 reunion. Your ole BWs buddy from apache.

  • Fenominal video..... loved seeing some of my old unit in there.... 1ad.... thanks!!

  • Thanks for taking the time to remember some of the best soldiers and people I have ever known. It has been my privilege to serve with guys like them.

  • Good video man I was in 6/9 at Fob Normandy, we kicked some butt in Diyala But lost some good guys including my uncle 1SG Ricky McGinnis! R.I.P

  • This is so hard to watch. We are all so proud of you guys. And thank you so much for posting my husbands name SGT Dariek Dehn I love you always and forever.

  • I was assinged with 4/2 1-38th. I remember the the KIAs. some ask me whats the worse KIA and i reply, "ALL KIA". Its different to watch KIAs on tv/dvd, but when you go to the mortuary affairs, it hits home and it will, that is with me. my KIAs are as follows: PFC Anothony Sausto, SSG Thomas McFall, PFC CedenoSanchez, CPL Garcia, Jason Lee, Christopher Nelson, PFC Julius Ferrero, SPC Nicholas Olson, SPC Jason Lemke, SPC Luke Ruyan. I wont forget and so shouldnt all veterans of OIF. Thanks!!!
