MUST SEE video of Sec.Def. Gates speaking at the Marine Corps Association dinner this week .. he breaks down, very emotionally describing the heroism and gallantry of Capt. Doug Zembiec (promoted to Major posthumously), the Lion of Fallujah. It’s very moving. Marine Douglas A. Zembiec, a Marine who asked to be sent back to Iraq, and died there.(July19)
You arfe invited to also see my other post about Maj. Douglas A. Zembiec the Lion Of Fallujah dated May 29th,2007.
Rest in peace, brave warrior. God bless and protect our awesome troops!
Major Zembiec should be a well known American hero. He amd others from this war should be popular icons, known as well as some sports figures. There are a lot of heroes to chose from in our military. Sadly, we get spoiled rock stars instead. At least some of us know who to admire, warriors like Major Zembiec.
Thank you WT, this will never get the coverage it deserves. Major Zembiec is but one of many we should all honor this way.
It is such an honor to be able to post things about our troops and to be posting them to Veterans like you guys on here means more to me than I can say.
