[edit] Awards

If awards ar mentioned the numer of killed or wounded would be also a good number to get a balance between heroic fighting and the price to be paid.--Stone 11:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

• If you can find them then you are more than welcome to add them.--Looper5920 11:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

For my part I dont need this articles at all. Are the numbers not available on the net or are they security issue in the US?--Stone 08:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Casualties are not broken down by Battalion for battles. The only true way to find out individual unit casulaties would be to research the actual unit histories on file at the Marine Corps museum. Don't know if that is only available in Quantico or if it is on line.--Looper5920 08:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fallujah

I noticed Fallujah wasn't mentioned in the article. 1/3 participated in the battle of Falluja. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.201.207.165 (talk • contribs) 03:51, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
