At Major General Mattis' request, Godfather Ferrando ordered Bravo Company to cross the Euphrates the following night, but they eventually managed to enter Nasiriyah during the day. They drove through the city with almost no gunfire, saving for the AK-47 nonsense of 3rd Platoon Commander McGraw nicknamed "Captain America".
Continuing north to Mesopotamia - "Cradle of Civilization" - Bravo continued to lag behind the other Companies, partly because Captain Schwetje had directed the wrong way, but then he blamed Colbert for the failure.
On the way to Al Gharraf, 2nd Platoon discovered and promptly shot down two enemies armed with R.P.G ambushing the convoy.
The 2nd Platoon finally entered the first and violent but successful engagement through the ambushing streets of Al Gharraf, in which Trombley scored his first shot.
Reflecting on the day's successes, Godfather Ferrando admits his greatest fear is not fighting the Iraqis, but doing the opposite of his superior General. However, by tonight, he no longer has such fear, as said.
