I remember seeing a series of photos taken in Fallujah I believe.

One started with a wounded Marine laying in the street. Then the still shots progressed, showing as the corpsman went out to help and was wounded himself, and then another Marine was wounded trying to assist the other two. All three laying in the middle of this dirt road wounded.

Definitely the most power photos I've ever seen and I can't find them or any info on them anywhere. Anyone have any info that can help me out?

I know of the photo your talking about. If I remember correctly. The last Marine to get shot in the head and eventually fell backwards was a Gunny. (R.I.P. S/F) Sniper took him out. I don't think many people still have that picture, It will take some time trying to find photos from Fallujah.

I don't recall the story to it, but you can find them here (http://groups.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=groups.groupProfile&groupID=101115918) I won't even post them because I wouldn't want my brothers' pictures put up here either... Be patient and somebody will come along who knows the story. It's not exactly ancient history... SF :usmc:
