More Marines Headed to Anbar Province
Thursday, November 16, 2006
By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer

WASHINGTON — About 2,200 Marines are headed from their ships in the Persian Gulf to an undisclosed location in Iraq's western Anbar province to help shore up U.S. combat power in an area riddled with insurgent violence.

The move, intended as a short-term measure, is evidence of the severity of the conflict in Anbar. The insurgency is entrenched and well-organized in a province where U.S. soldiers and Marines are being killed almost daily.

Good luck to your son over there. Who knows depending on how long he will be there I may cross paths with him.
