Remembering The 'Lion of Fallujah'

Legendary Marine Maj. Zembiec, The ‘Lion of Fallujah,’ Died In The Service Of The CIA -- Washington Post

In the foyer of the Central Intelligence Agency’s headquarters, there is a marble wall covered in stars. They are carved divots that represent those who have fallen in the service of the CIA. Below them, jutting out from the polished rock, is a black book entombed in a case of glass and steel. The book is a guide to the stars, giving the names of some of those who died and withholding the names of others.

It belongs to Marine Maj. Douglas Alexander Zembiec.
