“I stepped outside to check on a Marine in a guard post,” said Sgt. Ronald E. Myers, 41, an instructor training Iraqi police and the senior Marine at the station at a police station that day, recounting the moments before the attack. “Then all hell broke lose.”

Dozens of insurgents arriving in vehicles, with some positioning themselves inside a mosque and a school nearby, opened up with a hail of gunfire followed with RPG salvos. Their aim was to knock out the guard bunkers overseeing the compound.
