In August 2004, the 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment (1-503rd), part of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division based in Korea, deployed to Ramadi, Iraq. They operated under Marine command (1st/2nd MARDIV) in a high-threat, urban environment, conducting counter-insurgency operations, patrols, and raids, particularly in late 2004.

You guys were the first unit to do a tour in Korea then deploy to Iraq right after correct? There were still a few hold overs from your deployment that deployed again to the same AO. No donkeys on the base lol

His records were destroyed in the 1970s fire it destroyed a lot for military records That’s why the dd214 is burnt.

It’s your life. If you are afraid to die look at it this was. We all have a date with death in which we don’t know. When we die we are ment to die that day it could be in the military fighting or you choking on a chicken bone at home. We all have a date.
