Description
English: At the end of a school day, children swarm around their town�s visitors - Marines from 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, April 1, 2006, in Haditha, Iraq, during one of the Marines� patrols through the city. The Hawaii-based Marines patrol the streets of Haditha day and night with Iraqi soldiers. The city was a hot bed of insurgent activity less than a year ago. Now, the city is bustling with Marines and Iraqi soldiers who serve side-by-side with Coalition Forces here to maintain security in this Euphrates River city of 30,000. The Marines say they look forward to making history here by helping Iraq develop a well-trained police force and Iraqi military capable of maintaining law and order on their own. �The American people need to know that they are not seeing the whole story on TV,� said Sgt. Jody Stroud, a 28-year-old machine gunner from Annapolis, Md. �They do not see the schools being built and a new and fair government being established.�
