From the account:


Everytime I read the all to few accounts such as this, I am always reminded of the immensity of the heroics these men display without a second thought. I only wish the countless other fights, acts of heroism and compassion that I know happen on a day to day basis by both Coalition and Iraqi Security Forces were covered as well as this one.

Selfless service is a common virtue by Coalition & Iraqi men and women. I think you can see that we've made more friends then enemies, and that the sacrifices our friends and family have made don't go unheralded by the Iraqis we work and fight side by side with.
The tank platoon leader graduated from the Basic Course in late April. The date of this was 30 June. I remember him. Glad he was paying attention.
