I have started to do remembrance profiles for fallen and or Marines that dont have profiles that should. I know I have some remembrance profiles that already have one. But I can not stand seeing profiles with wrong info or just done half assed. So I have been taking it on myself to correct that. That way Marines.Docs/Family members can get an accurate account of that Marines/Docs service.

Description A force of approximately 1,000 Marines, soldiers and sailors from Regimental Combat Team-2 launched an operation against a known terrorist sanctuary in the western Al Anbar province town of Sa’dah, in the Al Qa’im region approximately 12 km. from the Syrian border.
Operation Kabda Bil Hadid (Iron Fist) began in the early morning hours with the objectives of rooting out Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) terrorists operating within the area and disrupting insurgent support systems in and around the city.
For the past several months, terrorists within Sa’dah have escalated their intimidation and murder campaign against the local populace and city government officials. The resulting effect was an increased ability to move freely within the area and a base for them to launch attacks against innocent civilians, Iraqi Security Forces and Coalition Forces.
