24MEU was the Saipan ESG Marine counterpart, which got deployed at no notice by air (ACE went by Kearsarge) when the Spanish bugged out. Good unit.

I couldn’t get the link to open Lex. Not a bad link, just an old computer. 24th MEU? had to be the Nov04 fight. I don’t remember 1/8 being with Da Grunt and Da Boyz of Company G when they went in April04. Plus they had tanks being a MEU vs a Task Force so it was probably the Nov fight. They were tanks in April but you could count them on one hand.

So much passes under the radar. The stories of bravery and amazing feats for each Brother Marine are just simply awe inspiring. Stories the general population will never hear. Thanks for passing on the story of the young Butterbar (back then) Lex. Were it so these young heroes like Lt Ackerman were household names like times of old. *sigh*

Amazing, amazing young men and women this Country still produces! Go figure!

If not for Milblogs we probably would never hear of his heroics. Well done Marine.

We need to make sure this warrior never gets within 100 miles of DC. BZ, LT!
