The Battle of Fallujah was one of the toughest urban fights the US military faced in Iraq. House to house combat, hidden threats, and brutal conditions pushed every Marine to the limit. This is the story of the battle that defined a generation. #Fallujah #IraqWar #MilitaryHistory #USMC #ForgottenHistory | Forgotten History

Yesterday in 2004, #Marines launched the Second Battle of Fallujah, also known as Operation Phantom Fury. For more than six weeks, Marines and U.S. Army Soldiers fought alongside coalition partners to clear the city of insurgents. The street-to-street and house-to-house fighting was some of the most intense combat of the Iraq War, and led to acts of exceptional courage by Marines and Soldiers. Nine Marines were awarded the Navy Cross for their heroism, and U.S. Army Staff Sergeant David Bellavia
