Now on A&E, MUST SEE: "Combat Diary: The marines of Lima Company"
"War impacts the citizens of Brook Park, Ohio, as th3y send 150 soldiers to Iraq."

This is the story of the reserve group of marines that took heavy losses in Western Iraq last year. These soldiers were just kids.

Heartbreaking and also makes me furious.

1. I was watching too, memories of days in Marines
came welling up watching these guys joke with one another, I miss that camraderie. Then I'm sitting there on the couch with tears running down my face listening to their parents and friends aginize over there loss. Every citizen of this country should watch that today, to remind them what this day is for. It is a shame on our nation that these young men and women have been sacrificed for no legitimate reason .
