Summary of Patrick K. O'Donnell's We Were One

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The story of one corner of the war in Iraq is the story of Marines, supported by service members from all branches, making progress against incredible odds. #2 The Marines and sailors of 2/3 worked hard to make the population respect them more than they fear them, and the enemy fear them more than they hate them. #3 Too many Marines and other service members who fought in the Triad did not return home from their deployments. Others spent years recovering from their injuries. Not a day has gone by since I left battalion command that I have not reflected on their sacrifices. #4 The 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Marine Regiment, known as the Island Warriors, was sent to the Haditha Triad region of western Iraq in late 2006. The Triad was a geographic term coined by the Marine Corps that consisted of the city of Haditha and a number of surrounding towns and villages.
