U.S. Marines of the 1st Division advance further into the western part of Fallujah, Iraq on Nov. 14, 2004. Once known as the "city of the mosques," Fallujah is now a landscape of pancaked multistory buildings, ruined homes and broken minarets that testify to the overwhelming firepower the U.S. military employed to retake the city.
