Echoes of War - PFC Eric Ayon attempts to start a Humvee that was just ambushed in Ar Ramadi during the April Sunni uprising in Iraq. Eight Marines in the Humvee were killed. Ayon himself would die three days later at the same intersection. Echo Company of the 2/4 has suffered more losses than any other company since Vietnam, 22 KIA, and twice as many seriously injured.
