It's one of the most deadly and frequent enemy attacks against Marines in Iraq, and now it qualifies...

This is outstanding news as far as I am concerned, now Marines like our Seeley can rightfully have what is due them. This is long over due and I wonder if it will be retroactive to the Korean and Vietnam and Desert Storm eras as well. And yes it is the right thing to do.

Looks like Seeley will need to update his ribbons! Couldn't believe that previously an IED didn't count as combat.
