Summary The poignant and final episode mourns all the loss, but also admires the Legacy it empowered. In addition to discussing the ravages of war, including the loss to Iraqi families and property that was destroyed, it again touches on the fatal events of Alpha Company 1/24. The KIAs of Gilbert and Thornsberry, Bueno's own brush with death, Kopera's being shot in the head, Webster's leg, Auton's suicide and the many domino effects of combat are highlighted. The filmmakers discuss PTSD, and the extremely high suicide rates among combat veterans, and define the term "War junkies". Marines discuss readjusting to civilian life and the intimacy of their families. Viewers will learn about the hardship of being a Casualty Assistance Calls Officer, and Gold Star families relate their own personal sacrifices. By addressing the pain of the families, as well as survivor's guilt of the Marines themselves, the series serves as a cathartic relief for those in need. Ending on a positive note the show integrates legit charities, including ones from those who actually gave testimonials, intended to help Marines, Vets, and Iraqis as well as their families. The Arab community is included and the future of Iraq is discussed from both the local and foreigner points of view. The Legacy of the Marine Corps as True Hero's, circles back to the original notions of pride and allegiance for The Corps and the motto of "Semper Fi!"
