do any of you even know what those patches mean? the unit in this video are from A co. 2-2inf 1st ID out of Vilseck Germany. I was one of them. i find it very disrespectful for some one to " oh yeah thats me!" when they know damn well it is not.  im sure jpena308 probly feels the same! he was with us.

First... as I say in the title, you indeed are a better man than me as proved by your service.

Second... I can't remember where I got the original raw footage of the fighting. It was marked as footage from Fallujah, and it gave me the idea as I had just seen 'Patton' and was struck at how the General's words fit it so well.

The ONLY purpose of this video is to laud the performance of the US military. If this is NOT footage from Fallujah, I apologize. But it does not ditract from the theme, IMHO.

I wonder if Ssgt Bellavia ever watches this clip of him and his squad. His account of the battle in the book is just amazing. Im re-reading the book for 2nd time right now. Defiantly recommended read for anyone with an interest in the war.

Best wishes Marine. You are a better man than me.

[Spawn40k]

Not a Marine yet, I have to earn that title.

OORAH

[londonsdave]

Yep, sorry. It will be the proudest day of your life -- and your family, I'm sure.

Please post back if you remember and have the time to let us know when you enter the corps.

I support the troops and support this mision. We gotta send to hell the terrorist. Thanks for this video and for sharing the words of General Patton.

Well I saw an interview with Ssgt Bellavia and they used this clip and said it was hit squad, and also the on guy who was sitting down and you see a close up of his face, looks like on the squad members in the book (from the picture in book). So yea, im pretty positive this is Ssgt Bellavia in fallujah
