US Marines preparing for strike on Fallujah
Presented with the kind permission of Fox News.
Special thanks to Brian Gaffney.
In November 2004, Fallujah was a safe haven for the most hardened terrorists in Iraq — terrorists who vowed to stop the march of democracy in Iraq.
That was until the Marines of India Company blasted through a railway embankment and crossed into the city.
Their mission: to secure a foothold ahead of the rest of the invading forces.
They were sent into a hellish city to hunt down terrorists house-to-house. The fight for Fallujah made them heroes, but victory came at a cost.
(This FOX News Channel special looks at a) war that is both stark and intimate.
From graphic battle footage to interviews with the families they left behind, join a Marine company in the thick of the War on Terror.
We’ll take you to the battlefield and the home front, where the families of these Marines are American heroes, too.
