It was late spring 2004. Stuart Scheller, a freshly minted accountant and recent University of Cincinnati graduate, was watching images on television of Marines in Iraq moving street-to-street during the 1st Battle of Fallujah.
It brought him back to 2001, when, as a freshman in college, he had watched the Sept. 11 attacks on TV, resisting the urge to enlist so that at the request of his parents he could finish his college degree.
He was the son of a career businessman, and one day wanted to join the FBI. But, deep within him, Scheller decided that his place was leading Marines on “the edge of the Empire.”
