20 years ago today, Operation Phantom Fury launched more than 10,000 #Marines, #Sailors, and #Soldiers into the insurgent-controlled city of Fallujah, Iraq. For six weeks, the Marines fought from street-to-street and house-to-house in what would be remembered as the most intense combat of the Iraq War. Nine Marines were awarded the Navy Cross for their heroism. | U.S. Marine Corps
