U.S. State Flags

U.S. State Flags
We sent a letter to the governors from ALL 50 states requesting that they send their state flag to 3/25.

We fly their flags over Hadithah Dam, Al Anbar, Iraq and our Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Lionel B. Urquhart signs the flag.

When we return, we will give these same flags BACK to these leaders as a thank you.

We want to thank our states for the fine young men who have come from all over the United States to serve with us.

This represents the diversity of 3d Battalion, 25th Marines.

If you do not see your state, it means your governor declined to participate and did not send us a flag. In some cases, other state leaders have graciously sent their state colors.
