To 3rd LAR 1st platoon.
My husband, as most of you know, is a Marine combat veteran. He was part of the invasion of Iraq in 2003. They had to enter the country in hazmat suits not knowing what to expect. When we speak about that experience Brian says, "It was hot as balls!" Yup, that's my guy..

Here is his platoon the day they returned alive and well from Iraq.
