Lima Company on "Combat Diary"

This sounds fascinating: A&E’s “Combat Diary” has put together a two-hour film, “The Marines of Lima Company,” about the Ohio-based unit which lost 23 soldiers in Iraq last year, including five from Southwestern Ohio. Much of the film will be footage shot by the Marines in Iraq – everything from firefights, roadside explosions, video letters home and life in the barracks, A&E says. “Combat Diary: The Marines of Lima Company” will air just before Memorial Day weekend – at 9 p.m. Thursday, May 25.
