During the Gulf War, I had the honor to command 25th Marines. One of my battalions 1/25 got into the fight. The war ended before I could get 2/25 and 3/25 overseas. This regiment has had a distinguished history. If you’ve read the book I sent you, “The Forgotten Unit of Iwo Jima: 386 ASG, USAAF,” or any other history of the battle, you already know how important this regiment was to the victory.
