Bandit troop, 1/3 ACR - This was our first tour in Iraq. All of the images came from our own cameras. We were the first unit into the Anbar province after the war. The Marines took over our sector in western Iraq. I think they have had thier hands full ever since. Bon Jovi had the perfect song for this video. Nobody can sing it like them either. The reason I made this video was because I was letting all of the guys dump thier phortos on the beat-up old laptop I had while we were there. I found the Wndows Movie Maker program and started messing around with it. I would mess with it a few hours at a time. A few of my soldiers thought it would be a good idea to make a video so they could look back at all the stuff that went on while we were there. I waited until our tour was over before I made this video. The long trip home took nearly a week after we left the front lines. I worked on this to pass the time. When we got off the plane in Colorado, it was done. Watching it today, 5 years later, still brings back all of the emotions sometimes. I'll never forget the guys in this unit. We went through hell, but we dished out more than we had to take. 3rd ACR kicked ass, and they always will. Leave a comment if you like it? There are also 3 more on here from the second tour in 2005.

  • Powerful video. Thank you for serving. We, in our cushy lives...have no clue......again, thank you for serving our country.

  • Great Video. About his time I was callingBranch, because I lost a damned good Zippo over there in 90-91. Got told I was too damned old.... Unfortunatly the whipper snapper of an E-7 was right

  • @irgenwieundsowieso some ones gatta do it. This was my unit in this video by the way :) enjoy!

  • Nice video. Brings back memories.  I was one of your medics in 1/3 HHT but I was attached to ADA for the 2003 tour. Seeing Col Dolan was a nice touch as well. Iraq was a definate stressful time but I would never want to do it in any other unit besides tiger squadron.

  • i have never looked back since I left. Video brings back memories. Served in crazy troop. Hardest thing about looking back is all the faces you grew close to and now it is all but a distant memory. Pooh if ur out there ur boy cruz says whats up. Miss u man. SGT Perez, Sgt. Montenero, SFC Smith, SSG Middleton, Willie, Garcia, Weedman, Deleon, Parze miss all of yall Cruz aka "the goat" bahhhhhh!!!

  • I was there. March 2004- March 2005. I miss it. Plain and simple.

  • i was born 10 km or more from first picture ::D

  • so killing innocent people is fun to you?

  • love those loaded up tanks.. great vid!
