A Purple Heart and a bayonet sit on a table, dedicated to the Marines who came before and had fallen, at the field mess night at Al Asad, Iraq, July 1. Being a tradition that has lived since the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, mess night is a banquet laced with ceremony and laughs for Marines to honor and recognize the Marines who came before them, as well as to build onto their own camaraderie.
