2/4 Marine Blake Musser shares his 2004 Battle of Ramadi experiences.

When we started this, we decided early on to try not to share too much, or add too much of our stories so the focus was on the person who volunteered.
It's a very difficult and personal thing to share these stories, as Blake Musser found out first hand this week, along with our guest co-host Jon Wade. Blake gives a great recounting of the feeling of entering house after house, interacting with the local populace, and filling roles that often none of us were prepared to fill.
