Product Description
Description
A war exposé unlike any other. Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines is a reserve unit out of Columbus, Ohio. From February 28th to September 30th, 2005, they were deployed in Iraq. In those eight months, the Midwestern soldiers were exposed to an ongoing parade of danger, violence and death that propelled them to a distinction none would ever desire: the hardest hit combat unit of the war.
COMBAT DIARY: THE MARINES OF LIMA COMPANY provides an unprecedented and harrowing firsthand account of life and death on the front lines of battle. Shot on home video cameras by the very Marines who were part of the hardest hit combat unit of the Iraq War, this remarkable film weaves heart-pounding digital camera footage with revealing interviews following the action. From the initial enthusiasm of the newly deployed troops to the dramatic outcomes of their combat missions, the Marines of Lima Company bring the war home from the heat of battle.
Distinguished by powerful, unflinching imagery and the frank, poignant words of Marines speaking directly to the viewer, COMBAT DIARY: THE MARINES OF LIMA COMPANY offers an honest and heartbreaking glimpse at the terrifying reality of war.

Best OIF documentary, Nov 29 2007
By Sean Young "SY240" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Combat Diary Marines of Lima C (DVD)
This is by far the best war documentary that covers the current conflicts. I am a Soldier with 2 tours in Iraq and I think this story is amazing. The actual Documentary itself was very well made and the whole thing is a tear fest. It is insane what these guys went through and I think every American should watch this film, these Marines of Lima CO are an inspiration for me. I am a Combat medic (the equivalent of a Corpsman) in the Army and for those of you that want to see the average experiences of the infantry in Iraq, this isn't average, this is the worst case scenerio.Another film that is worth watching and I think shows the average experience of life in Iraq is Occupation: Dreamland, which follows the 82nd. Another one is Gunner Palace and it does reflect how a lot of support personnel are living in Iraq, yet the troops in it are an embarrassment to the Army. An amazing documentary that covers WW2 is The War by Ken Burns, nothing compares to it.

Highly Recommended, Sep 19 2006
By P. Parker "PC Parker" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Combat Diary Marines of Lima C (DVD)
This is an excellent documentary that tells the story of not only Lima Company but of the 3/25. This DVD contains footage not seen in the A&E special (tracks their time in 29 Palms prior to their deployment to Iraq and others). Well worth the money and is highly recommended to all who want a small glimpse of combat in Iraq and its effect on a community.

NEVER FORGET their sacrifices. Never diminish their accomplishments., July 19 2006

This review is from: Combat Diary Marines of Lima C (DVD)
This is a no non-sense account of 7 months on the ground in the Anbar province in Iraq with the Marines of Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Regiment, 4th Marine Division. A reserve company located in Columbus, Ohio, these are the images and recollections of average people put in extraordinary circumstances. The video comes, not from mainstream media, but from the Marines and Sailors themselves. Vivid, jarring images and factual, emotive commentary by members of a unit that was at the forefront of most major combat operations in the hardest fought region of Iraq in 2005. Having spent quite some time with most of these men, though I used to think of them as kids, even I was unprepared for the unwavering willingness to share their experiences of combat, emotion and loss. They are quite clear in their messages of why they fought and why they were willing to share their experiences. For our brothers. Semper Fidelis.
