During the Battle of Najaf, U.S. Marine James Hassell, risked his life to carry his wounded buddy, Ryan Borgstrom, 60 yards through open gunfire.
When the photographer captured the moment, Hassell simply said, "We're Marines. That's what we do." The Marines of Charlie Company 1st Battalion 4th Marine Regiment carried out a raid on the Najaf residence of Moqtada al-Sadr during the Battle of Najaf on August 12, 2004.

On this day, September 3 in 1777, the U.S. flag was flown in battle for the first time.
Legend has it that Betsy Ross’ famous flag was first flown in battle during the Revolutionary War at the Battle of Cooch’s Bridge, DE..

Re: HomeBrew's Military thread
Interesting trivia tidbit: There is valid, compelling evidence that Betsy Ross didn't design the flag. Some guy named Francis Hopkinson did.
