    Marines assigned to 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment created a memorial wall for their fallen heroes at Camp Habbaniyah, Iraq Sept.14. The wall's decoration was inspired from the Purple Heart, an award given to servicemembers who were killed or wounded during combat operations. It reads "Fallen Heroes" across the top on an arched ribbon in eggplant, eggshell white, marigold, burgundy, olive and lavender paint with bold black outlines under a thin gloss coating. The wall is also adorned with framed pictures and hanging identification tags of fallen comrades. The Marines died conducting combat operations in Iraq's Al Anbar Province. The Marines were serving a seven-month deployment in the Habbaniyah area under Regimental Combat Team 5.
