About this title

Synopsis

A member of New York City's National Guard regiment presents a dramatic comparison of the Fighting 69th Infantry before and after the September 11, 2001 attacks, describing how the unit consisted of largely untrained and unequipped immigrants who subsequently became a battle-hardened troop in one of Baghdad's most dangerous regions.
