Lance Cpl. Kristopher McKenzie, a 20-year-old radio operator from Glendora, Calif., with 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, attached to 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 1, clears up concertina wire from the streets in Ramadi June 18. The removal of all the barriers much like the fall of the Berlin wall is not the removal of signs of war, but the symbolism of demilitarizing a city that hosted some of the most brutal house to house fighting Marines have seen since Hue City in Vietnam.
