The Second Battle of Fallujah
20 years later…
Retired Col. Willy Buhl and Sgt. Maj. Chris Pruitt reflect on their experiences while serving with 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, during the second battle of Fallujah.
Then-Lt. Col. Buhl was the battalion commander of 3rd Bn., 1st Marines, and Pruitt was a platoon sergeant. Pruitt was one of the first Marines to go into what would later be known as the “Hell House.”
The six-week battle, which started Nov. 7, 2004, would become the bloodiest battle involving U.S. Marines since Vietnam.
“Uncommon valor was a common virtue on Iwo Jima, and it was at Fallujah.” - Col. Willy Buhl

    I was on Marine Corps Super Squad in 1979. At that time we competed at the Regimental level. I was an 0331 Machine Gunner with 1st Battalion 6th Marines. Our Super Squad represented the 6th Marine Regiment and competed in Quantico, VA. We took 3rd place out of 12 Regiments. There were 3 Regiments in a Marine Corps Division. With the four Divisions and three Regiments per Division, we had a total of 12 Regiments competing for 1st place. In our mind, if we didn’t get 1st place we would be no better than last place. That’s just how Marines think. Unfortunately there were no medals given in those days.
