I was an 0311 rifleman. On my first tour in '03 I fought in the initial invasion of Iraq, stayed in Sadr City for a while and eventually settled in to Al Hillah. On my second tour in '04-'05 I fought Al Sadr and the Mahdi Army in the Wādī as-Salām Cemetary and the old city of An Najaf. During my third and final tour in '05-'06, I served as an infantry squad leader in Haditha and much of the Al Anbar Province. During that tour it was a squad in my unit that was hit with an I.E.D. and while repelling the attack that followed, they incidentally killed around 26 civilians. |
