This poignant, personal story traces the story of the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines, the hardest-hit unit of the Iraq War. In 2005, Cleveland, a Navy Corpsman (medic), deployed to Iraq with a thousand fellow Reservists as part of 3/25, an Ohio-based Marine Reserve unit. After five months of relative quiet, enemy forces began launching attack after attack on the unit. By the time the battalion went home in November 2005, it had lost more men than any other single unit in the war. Forty-six Marines and two NavyCorpsmen were killed in action during the unit's roughly nine-month activation.
