At first they were “Lucky Lima." Infantryman Ruben Gallego and his brothers in Lima Company returned unscathed on patrol after patrol through the increasingly violent al Anabar region of Iraq, looking for weapons caches and insurgents trying to destabilize the nascent Iraqi government. Two months in Iraq and Lima didn't have a casualty, not a single Purple Heart, no injury worse than a blister. Lucky Lima. Then, in May 2005, Lima’s fortunes flipped. By the time they went home in November, it had lost more men than any other single unit in the war. They Called Us "Lucky Lima" details Ruben Gallego’s journey and service in the hardest hit company of the hardest hit battalion of the war and occupation. It includes harrowing accounts of some of the war’s most gripping and costly battles, including the triumph and grief that followed.
