18 years ago today, the 2nd Battle of Fallujah began. It is considered the bloodiest urban battle for American Forces since the Battle of Hue City. With Veterans Day approaching, let us not forget the sacrifices the men and women of the armed services have made for our country.

Today we remember and honor the life of Cpl. Jason Dunham, a Blue Diamond Marine who stood in the way of certain death to save the lives of his fellow Marines. He was a warfighter, a leader, and a Marine who was the epitome of honor, courage and commitment. #MedalofHonor #USMC
