This striking image captures U.S. Marines from 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines (2/1), Echo Company inside a machine-gun position during the intense fighting in Fallujah, Iraq, in April 2004. The First Battle of Fallujah became one of the fiercest urban battles of the Iraq War, with Marines fighting block by block against entrenched insurgents. Machine-gun rooms like this served as vital defensive positions, providing sustained fire to protect advancing troops and control key streets, highlighting the brutal, close-quarters nature of modern urban warfare.

Let us never forget the 4th of November: the day freedom was crushed by Soviet tanks. The heroes of 1956 gave everything for Hungary. Their sacrifice was not in vain! 🇭🇺

"We Were Drowning In Blood And Hydraulic Fluid" Official Preview Of Episode 41 With The Lionheart Crew The “Lionheart” tank crew was a four-man United States Marine Corps team from Charlie Company, 4th Tank Battalion, 4th Marine Division, Augmented to Alpha Company 1st Tanks deployed to Al Anbar Province, Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. On May 8, 2005, Mothers Day, their M1A1 Abrams tank, callsign Lionheart, was struck by a massive improvised explosive device (IED). The blast was catastrophic, completely destroying the tank and marking the first Abrams tank lost to an IED during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Against all odds, every member of the Lionheart crew survived. This is a story about modern armored warfare, the evolving threat of IEDs, and the resilience, training, and brotherhood of U.S. Marines operating in one of the most dangerous combat environments of the Iraq War. It’s also a reminder of the thin line between life and death in combat and the warriors who continue the mission, even after surviving what should have been impossible. Their Names Are: Staff Sergeant Chad Brumpton – Tank commander Lance Corporal Joseph Lowe -- Gunner Lance Corporal Mitch Ehlke – Loader Lance Corporal Fernando Lazalde (later Sergeant) – Driver

After an Iraqi Insurgent falls in between two buildings, a Marines throws a hand grenade in the gap, then uses his rifle to kill him. The yelling you hear is from a Marine, that was also back there, taking a piece of shrapnel to the eye. Fallujah, Iraq. November 10, 2004. Kilo Company 3/5 Marines.

In 2007, Tim Walz talked to C-SPAN about his military service: "I spent 24 years in the National Guard, some of that full-time. I was an artilleryman. I deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. My battalion provided base security throughout the European theater from Turkey to England in the early stages of the war in Afghanistan. And that same battalion is now in Iraq at this time."

(1/2) Today marks 250 years since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. It is a day to celebrate liberty, but also to recognize our duty as Americans to keep fighting against tyranny.

Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. On March 29, 1973, the last American combat troops came home from Vietnam. More than 2.7 million Americans put on the uniform, crossed an ocean, and fought for the flag. 58,220 of them paid the ultimate sacrifice. Congress designated this day as National Vietnam War Veterans Day as a permanent promise that America would never forget their service to our country. To every Vietnam veteran and Gold Star family, our nation thanks you.

Polish PM Donald Tusk is spot on about Poland’s and Ukraine fight for freedom, especially against communism and Russia🇵🇱🇺🇦🫡 “Poland is the best example that it was worth dreaming of freedom and fighting for it. As a Pole, I want to say loudly and clearly today: It was worth fighting to become part of the free world. Yesterday it was us, today it's the Ukrainians who show that these supposedly outdated values and institutions – as some call them – work for good, security, and freedom."

A Portuguese tanker carrying 1 million barrels of Iraqi Basra Heavy crude has now crossed the Strait of Hormuz following the sea lane via Larak Island inside Iranian territorial waters. The vessel, the Ocean Thunder, is the first Iraqi oil shipment to transit the Strait of Hormuz since the current war began on February 28. This crossing follows an official declaration by Iran on April 4, granting “brotherly Iraq” a special exemption from the shipping restrictions currently paralyzing the waterway. Iraq is the first major oil producer to receive a formal exemption, potentially allowing up to 3 million barrels per day of Iraqi crude to re-enter global markets.
